Chevy High Perf Magazine 72 Nova

[6pakdave]

Hi guys,
On my last buying trip to the USA I bought a Yellow 72 Nova. It was a Chevy High Perf Magazine car & has a 350 F2 combo.I have found a magazine pix online possibly dated Jan 2004 or 2006, Im looking for dates and info so I can look for the magazines. It may have had flames on it at some stage also?! I dont know how many issues the car ran in, so if anyone has the magazine collection,Id like to know the years/months the car appeared if possible.cheers

thanks Dave

Is that Bob Melhoff's old car?

Edit: The nova has a 350 F1 combo, not an F2!

Thanks Dan appreciate the effort.

S..I bought the car in SoCal,Yucaipa. The guy owned it for 4 or 5 years. He mentioned the magazine and was sending some 'stuff' to my shipper that is now in the car. I hope it incl something to ID the myth. Looks like the guy in the pix has my valve cover in his hand though!

cheers Dave

July 06? I held on to it because I am partial to Yellow novas.

Pretty sure that's Bob's old car if it has the Vortech blower on it.

Hey, thanks a bunch Russgt

Yes S, it has the Vortech on it.
So what was the deal on this car? Did Chevy Hi-Perf build it or was it 'Bobs' car and used as a feature car for the magazine parts suppliers/sponsors?
I have no info on it at all, just what the seller told me. I also recall him saying the car came from AZ, but it has a CA blue plate on it?

cheers Dave

I worked for Primedia in 2001 and 2002 when Bob owned the car. I know he did a series of stories with the car and upgraded the motor. IIRC he also did some sort of bodywork story with the car as well. Sorry I can't be of more help.
