Yeah, what he said. I am really liking all these restored race cars that have been popping up lately. Brings back a lot of memories.

I have already starting collecting Day II parts to put Annie's Nova back in race trim and paint...................

How long do you think any of these cars stayed stock! The first thing whe did was pull the stock parts off and go racing. I was never a big fan of the Nova,the 69 camaro was the best looking car Chevrolet ever made. I would leave it as a race car,who cares if its numbers matching.

It dosen't look like this anymore. It had about 12 owners in Iowa & was stripped & repainted Maroon in 1985(I think). The 1/4's were replaced too. Now it's 75-80% restored back to original. If it were still day2 I'd leave it that way, but I'm inclined to go back original. The Grecian Green paint has already been mixed to match Annies Nova.
