Nova
What can I say. I think Robert owes the Nova a guest post, because I sure cannot sum up his feelings for this car. He did wax eloquently about the Nova and saying goodbye on a recent episode of The MuscleCar Place podcast.
We donated the Nova to Teen Challenge of the Midlands This organization is saving lives in and around Des Moines. All the money donated stays local. Robert said one of the guys that came to pick up the Nova was a graduate of the program and he spoke of the great things they did for him and how he would probably be dead by now, but instead has a job and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Teen Challenge will take any vehicle running or not, boats, RV's and plain old cash!
This has been a Kibbe car for years, I am guessing 25 yrs + as Jen drove it in high school.
Robert picked me up for our first date in this car. I used to spend too many hours looking out my dorm window or keeping my eye out for this car (stalking) it on campus. Rob could park at Helser and be studying at Black Engineering. I also remember one fond date of Robert taking me to the K-Mart parking lot during a fresh snow and doing donuts. I thought this was crazy exciting. He also once told me that the holes in the dash were to dispense M&M's.... young love makes ya gullible.
