Re: Details 1969 396 375hp SS Nova 19,538 miles
Like I said this car was and still is a street drag car! It looks like a sleeper but those 427 badges catch your eye. Remember this car also has a 5.13 gear Dana 60 rear end to handle a the brute HP! The picture that -post sedan- posted is one of the original pictures I have of the car in 1971 lettered up saying "Nova II Tuff" on the side with the drivers name and with local sponsors of the car. This was a street drag car(hence the low miles) that the last owner was beginning to bring back to street trim. On my previous posts I said "I think that a race car is more valuable than a regular car " I wish the owner would of left this car in race attire. How kool would that be, a one of a kind Nova. Thats why the car was re-painted to remove all the lettering, but I would like to have kept it that way and tell everyone at the shows about its story and how it ended getting the 427 motor and a Dana 60 rear. Not many cars can give a story like this one can. This car is truly a one of a kind!!! Worth every penny if not more cause of it history and paper work. Mr. Nickey came by today to see the paper work on the car and said "this is one of the best paper work he's seen" Originally sold in Oak Park IL ,owned in Oak Park IL by only 2 owners since 1969 that raced and showed that Nova! Now it's finally left it's crib and in John's garage. The man with knowledge an the cahunas. Wow what a real deal!
I'll try to post some pictures of the car on my next posts.
