1968 L79 Chevy 2 Nova

[GNT]

ROCK & ROLL BABY! Amazing cars.
Back in 1971 I lost my job and had to sell my 69 Camaro 350.Paid off my loan and had $1100 left to buy my next car.A guy down the street had a black on black L79 bench seat 4 speed.Not an SS but it had all the chrome trim and dog dish caps.The car was dead stock except for a set of dumps.It ran 14.1s with street tires.I forget the class back then.Something like D stock.I ran against 350/300 Novas,340 Cudas and 327/275 66 Novas.I never had any problem with those cars.Actually the toughfest car in my class was a SC 360 Hornet.I knew I was cheating.I put the car down as a 350/300 HP.I always tried to roll into tech with the motor off as the cam was a dead give away to the tech guys.Back then I hung around Harveys in Toronto.A local guy named "Skinney Jim" had a yellow L79 Nova.He added the Z28 cam,intake,780 Holley,4:56 gears and Hooker Headers.That car was almost unbeatable on the street with slicks.Many a 440 Mopar went home early after running that car.Great memories.
Someone get me a Hendrix tape!I need to pull some gears!
