Your destiny was sealed with that 427 black plate

If you still have them effective july 1st this year they are eligible for the YOM program and DMV can legally issue them back on the car.

I was flipping cars by the age of 18 so I couldn't pass on this 67 Caddy Vert for $500.00 ! Everyone made fun of me until they saw me turn the rear tire into a gob of melted rubber with a spark throwing steel belt. I think that alcohol may have been involved.

Pulled over on a snowy New Years Eve , the officer told the rear passengers to "get off the balcony". The car could hold 9 0r 10 with the top down.

My first car (65 Mustang 2+2)after it had morphed several times. Picture was taken in front of my girlfriends house (now wife) in 77 or 78. I bought it in 1970 while a junior in high school.

Originally a 289 with 3 speed, but was a Boss 302 with toploader and a 9" out of a Boss 429 car running 5.13 gears.
The rear end was bought at Jim's World of Speed after I saw it on the floor for sale.

World of Speed sticker on the vent window.

1975, 16 years old working at the car wash when a Cortez Silver 1969 Z/28 drives by with for sale signs in the windows. Jumped on my bike, chased it to the next intersection, got the phone # and bought it the next weekend for $1600. I had been working the car wash for 2 years prior to this to save the money for when the right car came along. I have some pictures somewhere that I should scan.

Rick,
I too bought a few things from Jim's World of Speed way back when.Bought more for my 4x4 truck than anything.

Late BrakeU2,

Thank you! I have sent the plates out a few weeks ago to be restored.

The car is currently being painted black.

And yes, A trailor hitch is going to be installed.

Here are my pics of my nova. Me and a buddy rebuilt the whole motor when we were both 15.
