Just a little background my interest in Nova's...... Back in April of 66 I took delivery of a Marina Blue L-79 SS Nova...... That started it all....Didn't realize what a special car it was until a couple of years after I sold it..... Anyhow, we were down in Florida on vacation in 87 and after looking thru the classic car section of the Sarasota newspaper I noticed a 66 Nova for sale..... We went and looked at it.....It was a Sport Coupe 283 powerglide White top, Mist Blue bottom.....Absolutely Rust free..... Bought it and had it shipped back to Wisconsin....So over the years I somewhat tried to replicate my old car.....
Put a 350 and a 700R4 trans in it......added Nitrous and the car went a best of 10.92 on street tires back in 2006...... The people at the drag strip told me not to come back until I put a Roll cage in the car.... That was when I quit racing as I didn't want to screw up the car even if it was for my safety....
So I kept the car and on my grandsons 16th birthday I gave him the car... He has since then had Frameup wheelworks install a 9" ford rear, mini tubs, and subframe connectors........and the story continues..... I'll be posting updates on the evolution
