This is J. Ancil's 69 Nova SS. It is an original L78 car that has a bench seat and column shifted TH400. He was running 12.30's at this event.

This is Bob Karakashian's 69 A12 Super Bee. This is an original owner car that is unrestored and has 20K miles. He ran an 11.85 at this event. Back in '86 he won the Muscle Car Shootout sponsored by Muscle Car Review magazine. In the finals he beat Jim Mino's RA II 68 Firebird and earned himself a color feature in the magazine. This car has been raced all of it's life.

This is Mark Weymouth's 70 RA IV Judge. This is an original 4 speed car with 4.33 gears. He was running low 12's until he blew his clutch.

This is D. Watt's 71 Duster 340. This car has a TorqueFlite and was running 12.60's. This car was featured in the April '21 issue of Mopar Collectors Guide.

This 63 Chevy II was making some test hits between rounds. It has a big block with twin turbos and has a mono leaf rear suspension with 9" slicks. On his first hit off the trailer he went a 4.90 to the 1/8th and then coasted trough the lights. For his send hit he turned it up a bit and had to peddle it, but still ran a 7.75.

On Friday night after the muscle car race Martin had an open Test & Tune so I stuck around to see what showed up. This 93 Grand Prix is powered by a 440ci Oldsmobile engine and is a low 8 second car.

This Cavalier also showed up for the T&T. This was actually an original steel bodied car with a factory dash and door panels. Most of these cars are all fiberglass with tin interiors so this one was kind of cool. I don't know what it had for motivation, but it made a couple of 8 second passes and sounded pretty good.

Thank you for taking the time to post and describe the pics! Much appreciated!!

Nothing better than mrays at the muscle car drags!

If we're interested in seeing them??? Is the Pope Catholic? :biggthumpup:

I was with Paul when he bought this car in 1986, spent many nights street racing and many late night engine and trans swaps, great times. :3gears:

This Emerald Turquoise L79 67 Nova SS is 1 of 6 built. It was sold new at Crawley Chevrolet in Shelby NC to James Robbs. This car was found and restored by Jack Duer and won Gold at MCACN in '09 and '11. I believe this is the only 67 L79 Nova with it's original engine and it also has it's original POP.

This Marina Blue L34 66 Chevelle SS was sold new at Colonial Chevrolet in Norfolk VA. This car appeared to have it's original engine backed by a M20 and a 3.73 rear. The tailpipes don't quite look correct, but other than that it looked like a pretty nice car. It was bid to $65K.

This code 76 Daytona Yellow 69 Chevelle SS 300 Deluxe post isn't documented, but was found with it's original KK 4.10 rear still in place.

Did anyone else notice the earlier L79 Nova has a C in the carburetor area behind the VIN where the other 2 have an R in that spot ? Carter supplied Qjet as opposed to Rochester Qjet on the other 2 ?
