looks like a real decent car for that money. I bet that is Brooklyn Heavy's car carrier in the background.

Many of us are convinced that Dan has the first L-88 Motion Nova that Joel built. Orig Sequoia Green and repainted Black by Batt Auto Body and still shows evidence of Phase III stripes & Motion tow tabs.

Has that been verified by Joel?

He has a letter from Joel stating that it could be one of his Nova's, but since Joel lacks actual invoice documentation Dan has tracked down past owners and co workers at Motion who have verbally confirmed the performance &amp; body work done to the car.

I also think it had sidepipes &amp; a shifter that was made especially for this car.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but like I mentioned, there are many of us that believe that it's Fredy Calas's old street racer.

Here are some photos of the truck you see.




I forget the story on the truck, but it would be a great piece restored. Dan claimed it to be Brooklyn Heavy's truck or someone elses or possibly someone else's or someone else'e. I don't remember exactly. The story was long, but an interesting one. Either way, the truck is cool.
