Back in the day my first L78 Nova had 4.56 gears...my boss at the garage went for a ride with me one day...he said "Tommy the engine is going faster than the tires".
Never forgot that line ![]() -wilma

I talked to Pat today, the builder and driver of the record holder nova. It started life as a L-79. They didn’t like it very much at McKay Chevy when he was keeping up with the ZL-1! As far as the 5:38 he called it making RPM. Very cool to talk to someone that actually raced the car from an old picture! Wish it was still around. Probably in someone’s back yard ruining. You never know someone might read this post and show us pictures of how he restored it!
