well, I know mine is Dan. The point is the original Day-2 cars like I mentioned earlier and there are more of them out there, should demand more respect "in my opinion" then the ones done now with the correct parts. Jim you are right Day-16,000 for my 69 Z/28. HA!

I'm only using "day2" as an additional selling word or phrase on Ebay and other interweb spots from now on.... My Nova is a "Hotrod" anyway. it was a hotrod when I found it and it's a hotrod today. The only people that don't ask me what day 2 means are on about 3 forums so it really doesn't matter. the speed parts I have on my car usually get 2 responses. The older gear heads say something like "thats the stuff we ran when I was your age" and the younger guys usually say "whats that thing" or "you would be a lot better off with caltracs dude" ... They all look at me like I stepped off a space ship if I tell them I have to set more than one set of points....

Is this car &quot;Day 2&quot; or a &quot;Day 2 clone&quot;? The previous owner put on Lakewood traction bars but painted them black, Cobra valve covers and intake manifold, 700 double pumper, tri y headers, turbo mufflers, a big solid cam, Shelby gauges under the dash, and Cragar GT wheels. This was in 1979. The only thing I did was put the stock wheels back on so I could restore the Cragar wheels. Is this a clone since it took 12 years from when it was new to put these parts on?

Wow. Talk about blowing a topic out of proportion. All Sammy said is that Sam's deuce is a genuine day 2 car from back in the day. Don't think anyone can argue that. All should agree there is a difference between what was done back then vs done today.

Going off on these tangents is what sucks the life even further out of the hobby. To each his own boys. Let it go while its still kinda fun.
