9-C-1 Nova

[SoupCoup]

Thanks for all the great info Alex. I'm really kicking myself now that I didn't persuade the guy to put this one off to the side. I'm a Ford guy, the only reason he called me about it 2 days before the crusher got there was he knew I was looking for a small block to build for my wife's 78 pick-up. I didn't figure the the LM-1 was anything special,so I passed.The guy I called at machine shop said they were only 2 bolt main & to pass on it. Truck is 4x4, so trans was of no use to me either. Hindsight eh ?

Yeah, I know all about hindsight...many great musclecars have slipped thru my hands over the years (decades). Bruce was pi*sed to learn that another RCMP Nova was crushed, but it-is-what-it-is. I'm guessing that that 9C1 was in pretty sorry condition from 30 plus years in a junkyard...probably not worth saving, but who knows? These 9C1s are fantastic handlers and great little sleepers, and with a cam change, some head work, and a rear gear swap they transform into worthy musclecars. You might want to see if the guy kept that 200 Kph speedometer...it would probably be worth a few hundred bucks.
