Virgil asked me to assist with the car.
The dealership bought the car along with buying the ZL-1 from Dick Harrell.

I built the engine for the Nova, installed one of the first Z-28 offset dual Holleys.
Labor Day 1969, class record was 12.06, backed it off the trailer with a 12.05.

Finally ran 11.86 with a .060 over 327, 4 speed, 5.38.

Car was sold to a guy that worked in the body shop, never seen again. May have been painted grey.
When I or somebody else on here ask's if anybody knows or remembers a specific car these are the responses we dream off !!! Love this site !!! thanks for sharing
