Re: 1970 Chevy Nova L 78 396
 

A car just like this one beat me like a rented mule one time in Bensalem, PA - probably around 1987'ish. It was an Autumn Gold Nova, 396, but had big-n-little Cragars and some traction bars. I don't remember seeing a Reedman emblem on the back, but that wasn't really what I was looking at! Plus, Reedman cars were/are all over the place in Bucks County, PA.

Nice car, GLWS

Car ran an LS6 in it during the the 70's.

Nice car, GLWS </div></div>This is probably the car Marlin. It never had a Reedman emblem on it as far as I remember.. I bought the car out of that area when the original owner died. It had a Real LS6 in it and that explains how well it ran. That motor was sold out of the car right before I got it..

Tom...Yes, that's your old car, the one I bought from you. Although my time with it was relatively short lived, I'ved enjoyed it thoroughly. Ran and drove very nicely for me last fall. Those are the white pinstripe tires and '70 L78 repop air cleaner in the pics that I mentioned to you earlier. Just bought a nice lakefront property that came along unexpectedly, gonna do some remodeling there, so decided to sell the Nova.

Pat...I was just having some fun...no doubt where that car came from. I like the look with the white lines and the air cleaner is a nice addition.

Certainly glad you enjoyed the car...I think it is a very cool sleeper and hopefully the next owner will enjoy it like you did.

Good luck with your new lake property.

The car did have a Reedman emblem...but, it came apart at some point. Not sure if it was with the car when I sold it to Pat.

By the way, the current engine setup is no slouch...it made a lot power on the dyno. That car would be dangerous with some headers, 4.10's, performance tuning and some tires to keep it glued to the ground.

**that car was ordered with 4.10 gears...but, Chevy didn't put anything more than the 3.55's...the original salesman's notes indicated the 4.10's

Thanks Tom, was a tough decision to sell and I appreciate all the guidance you provided along the way. I really like that car, it goes like hell and is easy to drive to boot! Stefano will no doubt find her a well deserved good home. I still have the Reedman emblem, but it's in pretty bad shape. Paul's Chrome can repair it, I'll have it done and give it to the new owner.

Small world, and that was a really fast car - I was running an 'all show - no go' Nova at the time with big tires, traction bars, etc with the stock 250cid 6 banger with a mono jet! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
