Post L78 Nova...

Yes...that's the car I'm talking about. It is in my garage as we speak...we put the others away for the winter, planning to do some work on this one over the winter.

Would love to learn more of the history about this car.

thanks,

wilma

Not quite a Supercar by definition, but it was purchased in western, NY at Dave Hallman Chevrolet in Hamburg, NY. It certainly has the look of a Supercar. I purchased this car 25 years ago this past June in 1999.

It's not a supercar but here is my '69 L72 Biscayne that was bought new at Maglio Chevrolet in Perry NY. It has had several owners in western NY until 2019 when it made its way to IA and then MN. The original owner is still in Perry and I keep in touch with him.

Thanks!
It was driven on the street for a year before he got serious and started racing modified production at Lancaster Dragway. The vintage photo with the black wheels is from 1970 and the photo with torque thrusts on the front is 1971.
