Frodo- 72 Nova daily driver project
How it would sound a daily driver matte black worn looking 72 Nova in the Hungarian traffic? I bet it would get more attention and thumbs up than those german and japanese sportcars that hit the roads on daily bases. :)
And how it would be with a modern drivetrain, suspension and brake components that make it capable to keep up with those cars on the straight line and on the curves as well? Definitely it would make some surprises...
There is only one way to find out :)
Here Frodo comes.

He arrived from Germany and was already used and registrated in Netherland (EU). This fact is very important as we can not bring old cars from the USA directly to Hungary and perform modification as we want. No way. We can get license plate for those old cars only if they are at excellent factory or restorated to the factory specs without performance mods. Stupid rules...and means stupid historical license plate that does not allow any mods legally that we like so much.
However if they have EU license plate already we can legalize them and get license plate as a "normal" car. That makes the "door" a little open which is good enough for us. Let's get the project roll!
Actually he is pretty set up for the task as he looks like a homeless. Little dents here and there rusty bumpers etc. No, He wont be a showcar by any means. This car will be set up to frustrate people who drive high dollar sportcars that supposed to be the best on the streets. :)
