Paul Timrots explores a real American muscle car - the rare 1969 Chevrolet Nova V8 in our latitudes. The owner of the car, Uģis Immers, bought his vehicle as a long-term investment. After selling the previous car, he had originally planned to buy a plot of land as a solid investment in our time, but instead ended up with a car whose value will not be eaten away by inflation. Uģa Nova came from California and spent a couple of years in northern Finland. This car represents the third generation of the Nova and, being only 1,400 kilograms light, is a popular drag racing muscle car. Užice's Chevrolet Nova has a 5.7-liter engine and 425 horsepower, and Paul admits that this could be the machine to learn what a car is made of. Nova's functions have determined the design of this democratic model. The car's large pedals replace the brake booster, and the roof is made of vinyl to hide the wiring imperfections. The powerplant has the prettiest vent knob Paul has ever seen, but the vent itself doubles as an air conditioner in the summer. Since Ugis is no stranger to tinkering, he plans to stick to the car's bodywork this winter so that it reaches perfection.
