it wasn't my favorite car, had the gutless 307 with the powerglide tranny

I had a '68 Nova with a 307 and PG, my first car.  Some cars had what we called "passing gear" ...

we've had the Nova discussion in the past

my was right between those  1970 SS

300hp 350 with 4 speed muncie and 411 gears

had 60,000 miles when I got it.  Ran like a top.  Needed paint.

$700 - my father loaned me $300 - he knew we stole it from the young lady.  Was worth double that or more.

she had no clue the SS was special
