Re: 68 nova (body in white?)
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: old5.0</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The "body-in-white" terminology refers to purchasing a bare shell in primer with no drivetrain, no interior, no "bolt-ons" attached and no vin number or MSO. I don't know when the practice began, but I know of numerous 79-present Mustang drag cars that began as bodies-in-white, as well as several 3rd and 4th gen F-Bodies, so it seems to have been continuous since the 60's at least, and probably earlier. </div></div>
It sure sounds like the same type of car like the 70 mentioned in this thread. Car had its 350 in the parts department for a long time before being sold off. Car still has its dealership name on it and it did win alot (which I like), the inside is like a time capsule. I thought it was a conversion car by some of the other famous folks, but it is not, unless they had the 427 built by someone famous. It was a big dealerships's high performance baby.
Someday.
