Default Cool survivor 1969 L78 Nova

I got to meet this guy on Saturday at the local cruise. First time he's had the car out in a decade or so. He bought it from first owner in 1971 (his neighbor who is still around) and raced it (a lot). Still has original drive train. Single fuel line was rerouted up the fender well because he ran headers on it back in the day. The headers eventually rotted off and he put manifolds back on it. Original set of Cragars back home in the garage. 17,000 miles on this time capsule. All original paint. And no it's not for sale.
