It has never before happened at Vette-Fest, but that will all change on the weekend of November 22-23 2008. The first ever 1968-70 High-Performance Nova Special Display will be one of the feature attractions.

From SS350 to SS396's, Gibb COPO's, Yenkos/SC and Deuces. I know there are Nova owners out there that have been waiting for just this showcase. So spread the word and let's do the Nova owners and enthusiasts proud. Can we get all the Deuce colors?,how about all four Gibb Nova colors while we are at it. Please add you name and Nova to the list. Here is the early roster..BKH http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

I have to say that this would be one awsome show! I might have to plan some vacation time to get to this one! Would one of my Nova's fall under the dedicated restorations category, or would it have to be something HI PO or SS?

The Nova Showcase is for original Performance Novas only. You would be more than welcome to show your Nova at Vette-Fest and I would like to see it...BKH http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Dennis,My car could be in the car corral not the show lane.Pictures are very decieving.Our car has rust and bondo issues.But maybe when it's restoe'd I would very much like to be invited to a Vettefest with it.For now I will be a spectator.If we can afford the fuel to bring it to SCR11 you will see what I am talking about.If it was a show worthy car I would be all over it.

By all means bring the car. When we pitched the idea of a Nova Showcase It was never meant to exclude anyone, but just like the LS6 Showcase, its had to be an LS6. Since the Novas have never had there own Showcase at VF we all felt that 68-70 SS/COPO platform cars were the ones that should be displayed in the Showcase. VF will welcome any Nova to he show and I for one would like to see as many as possible..BKH http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Brian,
This is my documented 8400 mile 1969 396 L78 M22 SS Nova. Car has a fresh rotiserie restoration completed May 08 by Mike Angelo "m22mike".
Car has all it's original body panels, rubber mats and interior.
Car was purchased new from Lyle Chevrolet in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio. Lyle was the dealer that sold ZL-1 # 53.
Would like to be considered for the Nova showcase at the Fall Vettefest.
Here are a few shots of the car.
Thanks Grady

Thanks Grady for the opprotunity to do such a deserving car. I am spoiled now for when the next one comes along.
I know all will agree when you see all the Pic's of this car.
I will give Bruce alot of the build photos with the rest of the story.
Grady was a great car guy to work with on this project. He never tried to cut corners and always wanted to keep the Nova as correct as possible. As was evident with all the nice NOS stuff he got for the car.
Do not look for this car to be sold anytime soon, Grady is not a car flipper, but a ture collector.
Someday the Nova will be parked next to it's big brother.

I tell you; I've been surfing through some earlier threads on Novas and this Nova Showcase might be one of the Best that VetteFest has ever pulled together. Great idea Brian!
DAMN, there's some NICE stuff in this gathering!!!!! The lowly Nova is gonna kick some butt! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif
Make sure you got plenty of mops handy Mr. Ashton. There's gonna be some http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drool.gif to clean up!

Lock up the bourbon, hide all the redheads....Wilma is coming to Vette Fest http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I have made all the arrangements for the trip to the windy city. Tibor and Cumby have sent me a list with proper car show behavior rules and regulations to follow. Looking forward to seeing and meeting the "heavy hitters" from the SYC http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif The only car I could find to bring was an old, weather beaten, black 70 4 speed L78 http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif It doesn't shine as much as some of the fancy restored cars, but it's all I have.
Anyway, it hails from the Chicago area (Shaver Chevrolet) so I hope you will accept it for what it is. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif Benny said I have to behave myself since this is my first really big show...I only hope Sammy will be there to lend some moral support http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif
Just realized, the only thing I haven't done is send Bob A. the registraton form and $$ http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
I'm really glad the car has a block heater....I heard it gets cold in Chicago http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Time for an update;
I am preparing our new Chevy Vettefest Car Show Guide and a website update also. If you are planning on being a part of the HP Nova Showcase, please confirm with Brian and send me some photos.
Remember; any cars accepted for this Showcase (or the Z/28 Showcase or the sYc Showcase), can either be Display Only OR Judged, your call.
Since the overall quality of our entrants has gotten better with each show, it is very important that we know who is coming, (and especially who wants to be judged), so that we can be properly staffed with enough qualified Judges. We are well on our way to another completely sold-out show, so help me achieve my goal of "raising the bar" with the best cars possible!
Any questions can be directed to myself or Brian.
Let's make this a big one!

it would be a long shot. I dont have time to tow it myself so I'd have to try and see if anyone of the members has an open space going that way....worth a try. I think I was last at that show in 85-86 before I left to head west. Was it ever around McCormack place on the west side of Lake Shore Drive?
Yes,it was held inside McCormick pl. for some 20 years until just recently moving to the Stephens Center in Rosemont.
Before then it was at Arlington Park race track in 1983-4.Held inside & outside..

I just received a phone call from a friend who always goes to VF. He told me that there is a buzz about the show in the area he has not seen in years. He said the word is out that the Nova and Z/28 Showcases are what guys will be buying their tickets for. He also said this is just the type of bread and butter musclecars guys want to see. So it would seem that the 2 Showcases were a great idea...BKH http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

This lineup is indeed amazing; if I wore a hat, it would be off to Brian and all of the participants who have signed up.
A I said in the Z/28 post, these things take a lot of effort and calls to come together, along with lots of great people.
Now, how in the heck am I going to top this one?

I really doubt anyone could ask for more. The Nova display was everything I expected. We had a total of 19 cars sign up and a grand total of 18 arrive. Not a bad ratio by any standard. It was great to meet everyone and I am glad to report we had NO issues all weekend. Everything ran smooth. I want to thank Dennis Cumby for his hard work, that made mine easy, and Frank Arone for helping get the cars in place, since we were delayed. The weather was another thing, but the show was perfect. The trip home was 100% in the rain Monday, but at least if wasn't snow. Thanks again to all who participated in the first ever Nova display. Each one of you made it very special...BKH http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

First off, this was one of the nicest/most professional car shows I have ever attended!! Again, a big thank you to Brian Henderson for putting the Nova Showcase together.
Thanks to Bob Ashton for organizing a fine show.
It was a pleasure finally meeting some of the members on the site here that we only know by keyboards.. My friend and I had a great time!! Thanks to Doug Perry for organizing the "Gibson's Crew" Friday and Saturday Nite!!
Congrads to all the Nova Showcase participants that won awards especially Tommy K, there couldn't be a nicer guy and was well deserved!!
I hope everyone made it home safely!! The car is tucked away in the garage now for its long winter nap!!

A big thanks to Brian for the nova display. It was a very impressive display.I'd never seen Grady's before, and Fran's very fresh done white cars were top shelf. And Tommy K's certainly deserved that special award. Of course we are a little partial to bbbenny's Fathom green nova. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Alway great to talk shop with the folks who do the work too. Thanks Brian, we were proud to have been a part of it. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
