    They used to be hated. Same as Miami Blue.

    That was hands down, the worst colour you could have a Nova in. Most conversions were done to higher spec cars at the time though.

    I remember this in total vauxhall a few years back owned by some lass and it had all the paper work from when the conversion was done
