Nice pictures Jake, thanks for posting them. Karen & I were there Sunday. That L78 Nova has a great story. His name is Doug but they call him "Gunner". He bought the car new. At one point he had to take it back to Bud Weiser Chevrolet due do a engine problem. The head mechanic told him that there was a sand hole crack in the head, the motor overheated and ruined the block. They had to have a representative come to the dealership and inspect the block/head before the warranty would go through. Gunner eventually received a CE block and one new head.

I have additional pictures of the barn find Z28 and VIN.
