The Vega looks to be the Hiner & Miller car. I know it was wrecked at Englishtown...perhaps that day? The Chevy Nova is Ernie Shead's ex-Howie Busch* car driven by Howie(?).

Brooklyn Heavy was a Plymouth Duster, it came over to England in 1974 or 75, then the year after to Sweden were it still is I believe.
The first years it ran with Hemi-power, later in the early 80's it had a 340 engine.
Here is a picture of it in the background when we raced against it in the Swedish ProStock series 1983. That's my Toyota :-)
