Default Re: 69 SS nova big block car ????

Spoke to the nephew of the first MD buyer last week, he was with Elmo when he test drove the Nova in Baltimore back in August of '70. He tells me that it was an L78, but does not believe that they have any pictures of the engine. He reports that Elmo had the engine completely redone at the House of Speed in Baltimore, and soon after had 4.56's put in the rear - no wonder the car was parked in '72 from too many tickets

Apparently, the car is a rally wheel car, not the XT version I thought/hoping for. For now, I'll keep the XT look going - since that's my favorite look, but will eventually put the rally's on it.
