Default Re: My First Car

Here I am with my first car that was mine! A 1970 Nova that originally had a 307 and an automatic and drum brakes all around. The guy I bought it from used it as a race car and had a Nasty Rat motor, 4spd and a 12 bolt with 5.13 gears. That car taught me how to drive. It also had Purple Hornie Glass packs on it and that thing was obnoxious to the point I had to shut it off about a mile from my house and coast into the driveway late at night. I loved cruising Van Nuys Blvd in that car back in the mid '70's.

It ran a 13.09 @ 111 mph missing through the lights after I drove to the track with six people in the car and never adjusted tire pressure or uncorked it. First time out with a pasenger too.











After a backfire through the Carb that blew the valve covers off!
