Re: WILMASBOYL78 (Tom Williams) Dynamite 1970 L78
We were anxious to see it up close,and spent hours on the cars details.Dave was really cool about this and happy to oblige.He was surprised to learn it had a 3:55 posi,as he was uncertain.
You just don't see many Original owner Big Block Survivor Novas,and the SuperChevy judges knew they couldn't give it the recognition it deserved,as there was no Survivor class.

Re: WILMASBOYL78 (Tom Williams) Dynamite 1970 L78
The Hour meter was installed By Dave's Father,who was a Truck driver by trade,and was all about monitoring his vehicles this way.I believe the metal clip he used to hold down the engine block heater plug is the same one used on the rarely seen Dual Snorkles PCV hose.
This father & Son team was the truly the REAL deal,and I was saddened to hear of Daves Father passing. SuperChevy did share a picture of the two of them together with the Nova in the February 99 issue. A good Guy who really knew his stuff!
