1972 Nova bought in 1978...originally a 6 banger and powerglide. Went the 402 big block and Turbo trans route...sold it to the kid across the street who the first day he had it...almost wrapped it around a pole in front of the high school.
The emblems and SS rear panel came from Eddie Hopper and Cone Chevrolet's parts inventory. I had to look long and hard to find the rear panel.
The 12 bolt rear came from a 1969 Z28 that was one of my mechanic friends when I worked at Hardin Olds...whose son DID wrap the fathom green Z28 around a pole
Pictures were taken at the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals West (at the same show as Nova Joe's way cool Nova was at. Notice the Street Machine Nationals West sticker on the wing vent). 'My car' wanted to be 'his car' when it grew up!
