I tried that earlier and it came up "this member is not accepting PMs"

If I understand you correctly, you want someone to come up with some pictures so you can determine if it is ONE car that MAY be know as TWO? You may wait a lifetime for them to surface if ever. There may not be any pictures out there or anyone that knows the history of the car making a switch at some point.

I believe that The Madsen family (Dad) bought his car new. If you have spoken to Scott about it why don't you make the info you have on this car known? If you don't I will talk to Kim to see what I can find out. I should think that they would be one of the best sources for the history of these cars.

I have known Kim since 1982. I remember him telling me that his father raced that car in several different venues. he told me at one time it ran a fuel injected 327 with TWO air meters mounted on the top of the plenum. He did a lot of experimenting with the car. He was also very well acquinted with Grumpy and Smokey back in the day.

You are afraid you are possibly going to mis-speak and everyone else thinks you are holding out with info that MAY be correct. It is real simple, just state that what you THINK is true, is just that, a guess or THEORY based on information you have. As long as you put it out there in that way no one is going to throw rocks at you. OTOH, the way you are going about this, people that MAY be able to help you may be holding back with their info based on your presentation.

I fixed the pm thing.... Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I have talked to Scott & I have NO doubts about the car's history. Hell...... I think I might know more about his car then he does @ this point ....

This is what I don't know.

How & when did Huston Platt get his car?
What happened to it?

The L.A. car is it just a rumor?

Sorry if I'm going about this in a way that doesn't please you guys. I just don't want to get this wrong.

On a side note.... How do I get a smilie that says Dave sucks?

Thanks for posting that pic Verne, I have that original ad from back in the day. I don't know how Platt got that car, nor where it is today. I believe the cKc car is here in PA.

I don't know the 'inquiring mind' here, but to be honest - I don't think anyone on this site would truly claim to be a 'guru' on the f/back Novas. Although at least 3 of them spent time with Bill Thomas, and were originally destined to be pseudo f/i 'vettes for the European road racing circuit they really don't come up in conversation very often. They are historically notable, but without any of them in circulation they are not oft discussed.

So, once again, if you have something to share - please do. If you are awaiting some type of confirmation - it might be awhile! It might be more productive if you simply asked the question of whatever it is that you are looking for - I know that the former/current owners of 2 of the f/back Novas peruse this site - but trust me, they won't post (so if you are here to 'smoke them out', it fruitless!)
