Cordia 427 L/88 Fast Track Nova. New find of 09'

[bkhpah]

This may be the Nova find of 09. Owned by Tony Lucas, this is a 1969 Nova built by Cordia Chevrolet in Clymer NY. This was a prototype car called the "Fast Tracks". The car received a very nasty L/88 and many go-fast parts. This car remained in Cordia's inventory from 11-21-68 until 1-2-2007 and sold as a new car. It has 1545 miles from new, all very hard. It is mostly original paint, but has had some "fluff" work to bring it back into shape. The car was a test bed for race parts and had numerous configurations up until the mid 70's when it was retired. It was a L-34 turbo 400 car with 3:31 rear gear new sporting XT wheels and pin stripe whites. It invoiced at a HUGE $2631.45. The car will be part of the Hi-Performance Chevrolet Showcase at GM Carlisle. It is at SCW for some detailing. Some parts were changed during its days as a test bed. It had a Hurst Dual Gate shifter on the floor first, then changes out to another brand. We would like to find a Hurst unit conform to its original design. It was returned to the column, but a new floor mat was installed since the old was was cut up. I am looking for both a Hurst and a good rubber mat. Enjoy the pictures, and come see it in person at GM Carlisle...BKH

I love the way Cordia used the Corvette style L/88 air cleaner and under-hood air box. I have never seen a hood like this..BKH

Gas mileage is not a concern, but only 1545 have been logged. I just love the way that the fast and crude lead work was done at the factory. One of many "crude" body issues on original cars...BKH

We are looking for lots of little items. Like wiper arms, some seat belts that are missing, stuff like that. This car is like a wild caged animal. It has block off plates on the headers. I have yet to uncap it, but IT will be soon..BKH

Just noticed that it is 4-27-09. A good day to post pictures of this car..BKH
