Not being a trophy guy, I thought the car did great and got more enjoyment out of the people who viewed the car. Tons of action on the original paint and the lacquer checking which was a huge huge hit. The Cross Ram was another favorite for many people. I did know a few of the ISCA judges from previous years and each of them had some strong love for the car. Post awards, one called it "bitchin" while another said he'd really like to own it.

Thanks to Rich for the original Ed Stinn dealership paper, I made a photo copy and filled in a few blanks to go along with the car. That was a huge hit with the ladies as I saw many stop to read about it. Notably, a few stopped to share stories of their fathers or grandfathers having owned and driven Nova's. A couple ladies reminisced about old boyfriends who drove built up Nova's back in the day. Best part was meeting an older Nova guru who was citing off RPO numbers and production data like he ran the GM line. A very knowledgeable man who I really appreciated chatting with for some 45 minutes. He liked the original sheet metal and closely inspected the trunk to say it's one of the cleanest originals he'd ever seen.

The car is now put away while I wait for warmer weather to arrive here. I want to roll it outside and fire it up so bad. Still bloody cold here for at least the next week. Hopefully this cold stuff breaks real soon as it's now been 4 straight weeks of deep freeze. Thanks again for all the comments and support on the car. It's been a fun one to slam through. Next on the rack is the green 69 which starts next week.
