Apparently, it is confirmed with documentation, that this Nova was converted to a 427…..and, it was sold prior to the MCACN show.

My brother and I were talking about this car in the barn find section. The several times we visited this car it seemed like not a lot of people realized how significant this car was/is.
This was a treat to see!

I noticed that too. There wasn't a sign by it or anything saying what it was. Those who weren't already aware of it from these posts probably didn't know what it was. I just posted a picture I took of it in the Supercar Photographs thread I started.

I noted that also, and it was a late entry so there probably wasn't enough time to get a board made.
