Ziggy,

Wife and I went out last night, dinner and a movie. Seen Apollo 11. It's all filmed from back in 1969. As the show went on, I said to her "this is why I like old cars! There all unique and have there own character." She said "I know. Today's cars all look the same."

At this time, I have 3 Nova's:
'67 SS with a BB 427 T400 and Gear Vender,

'66 With Mike Papadmou's Ex-NHRA Pro Stock 500" BBc with a Bruno/Liberty. Both those were Fj Smith built SuperStockers. The bar is out to of 67 for the street. I bought it rolling last fall.

'69 SS 396/350Hp car is also done by Dale who was Fj's top guy for many years before going out on his own. It's an 8.50 cert car. But keeps all the normal stuff not like the '66 or '67. I put a 785Hp ZL1 in it and a T400. It's done for a F.A.S.T. style racing. But it has headers so they won't want me there.

The '67 SS has a L-72 shortblock but I had a nicely done top end I put on it. This one will have O.D. Dakota Digital analogue dash and cruise control, P.W. and locks, A.C. and EFI either this year for this winter. That is going to be the driver for a bit anyway. Still going get some compression out of it, but for now, just de-tune and premium fuel. Maybe a meth injection kit if needed. Car WILL be too fast as it sits anyway and this motor combo, in my '69 with a PG and more weight, it ran 10.40's and did a bit more work to the heads due to sitting for a bit. It did run 10.70's in a 3600+ lbs Buick Regal.

So will be around but looking for more of a mild stock deal that could possibly tow these to shows and maybe Cayuga/St. Thomas/Woodward would probably be the furthest I would tow a car. A friend of mine has a W30 and he tows a 21 ft boat. Has a ton of "creature comforts" and he drives it everywhere.

THAT is what I want to do.

John
