"How many people are going to ooooh & aaaah over anobnoxiously lettered up, hillbilly suspensioned, wanna be drag-star that nobody ever saw run"?
This statement can only be made by a guy that is to young to have lived the era or somebody who was not a car guy in his early days. When I seen that picture I had goose bumps not because of that car but because the memories it brought back. In the 70s you would see that all over, lettered cars cars that were jacked up so high they drove like crap and scarey to drive but that was the excitment about it.
That statement hillbilly lettering every body had there own taste and there own budget and it was all cool primered or mint everbody enjoyed each others cars and always helped each other.
my 71 Chevelle "MOTHERS WORRY" It was street driven but also ran at the track when hearing the story about the Nova it brought me back to the 70s both cars my Chevelle and the Nova had so much in common a name all cars needed that back them Cragar SS tunnel rams 5:13 gears roll bars both street cars and also spent weekend at the tracks.
What this Nova really did for me is making want to find Mothers Worry again so thats what im going to try to do the last picture is the way the car looked when I sold it. I finally had to take the name off I got tired of being stopped by the cops and hassled. So maybe to a non car guy that picture means nothing but I think any one that had a car and lived that era could appreciate the hillbilly lettered car I sure do.
By the way My Chevelle was a 1971 triple black 9,000 mile original paint car last known place it was was south side around Orland Park anybody recognize it.
As for the Nova I probably will sell my 67 post Chevelle and use this for my race car.
