Cars and Coffee...Irvine Ca Thanksgiving 2011

[Xplantdad]

Holly,Lynn and I went to Cars and Coffee in Irvine this morning. We met up with our great buddies Dave Lindsley, Mark Sheppard and Joe Camigula. There were a lot of cool cars there...especially some cool Novas!

Dave's freshly restored L78!

Hi DAVE,

Do they call these cars the &quot;XYZ&quot; cars? That is the end of the California Black Plate alphabet.

VERY NEAT collection. And hard to find real examples. How many 396engine powered Nova's did they make in 1969? That is one book I don't own.

I had a 70 SS with the 350/300hp and factory 4 speed. It was a nice one owner car.

[427freak]

Wow, Dave's Nova looks great. I am glad to see him out enjoying it. Looks like Sal did a nice job. No pics of Dave riding the Schwinn?? I'll have to go to that gathering one of these days, little early for me. Thanks for the pics Bruce, I didn't know you could surf?

[Xplantdad]

Dana...in my younger days...I even went to Dana Point <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif
