Idle thoughts/ What is a Supercar??

[NWYENKO]

Not to be a pest but my question is " what is a Chevrolet built Supercar" ? I am really trying to learn the correct terminology. As far as i am concerned Chevrolet has built a lot of Supercars!!!!

[COPO PETE]

I have to agree with Belair62. I believe his definition is 99% correct. Any dealer built performance car and almost all COPO's. All COPO's with a performance engine would qualify. Special order paint through the COPO program would not apply. I believe a 396/375 Daytona Yellow Chevelle painted through the COPO program would not be a "Supercar". And obviosly taxi cabs, telephone trucks and what not would not be. Although the tri- power Police cars that went to Nevada I think would certainly qualify.Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. NWYenko, according to your picture, you have two "Supercars" although the other one looks super too.

Pete - what's the story on the 3-deuce Nevada police cars ?? Don't know that I have ever heard that story ?????

Pete and Bob;
I agree 100%!!

NWYENKO;
Nice L79, I really like them. I passed up a nice '66 L79 Nova and a nice '69 L78 Nova to buy my Yenko. The guy selling the two Novas thought I was crazy, telling me that the L79 was more rare than the Yenkos! I told him only if it was a '67 L79 Nova.

Casey; Never seen one but in the Dec/Jan 98 issue of MCR, the one with my three cars on the cover, Tom did an interview with Jim Mattison. He talks briefly on this subject. I'd like to see you Dodge boys outrun that unit.

Thanks, Marlin, the L79 is a # matching factory air car that was the Nostalgia Nova club raffle car in '95. It was nicely restored but improperly prepared and painted with lacquer which had checked real bad. The guy I bought it from was afraid to have it painted. The tires and wheels were my wife's Valentines present last year. (it is her car you know). I wish I could locate some documentation on the car but the guys at Nostalgia Nova were not much help.

Idle thoughts? Thats not Supercar talk. It should be W.O.T. thoughts!
