This is a forest green 70 Nova L78 4 speed running at Oswego (IL) Drag Strip some time in 1970. It was owned by Dorothy Steele and driven by either Dorothy or her friend Bruce Thompson, both of Aurora IL. This car was raced from virtually day one, and occasionally street driven. When they finished with all the usual Day 2 mods and got it all dialed in, it ran 12-teens. They purchased most all the parts to build and install a ZL-1 in the Nova but that project languished. Bruce and Dorothy also bought a brand new dark green 72 Nova SS350 and modified and raced that for about a year. Then Bruce got drafted and eventually Dorothy sold the 70 to a friend of mine.
