One thing is missing in this picture though. All the smoke that was coming off of those Firestones on that NO-VA!

I found it.It's in a Brooklands Books ChevyII Nova&SS 1962-1972.It has a green cover with a 68 ChevyII SS page 94 titled Super Nova.The main article came from Car Craft March 1972.Calling Bob Ashton.Got any March 1972 Car Craft magazines in your stash?I scanned them into my computer but cannot figure out how to get them over to Photobucket.
It says that this car actually saw street use in Detroit.

Rick Dobertin and his wife owned a speed shop in VA when I was in high school and we used to go by the shop all the time to buy parts and check the progress on the Nova. That car was not only a twin turbo, but also was supercharged! The craftmanship of the car was second to none. Rick was way ahead of his time with that car. He built a few other projects including the stainless steel car/boat that was made from a stainless steel tanker truck.

We also used to street race after hours in front of Rick's shop as it was in the middle of an industrial park and the road was very wide and dead straight for a mile. It was a great place before the cops learned about it. Man those were some fun times!

Kendall, make sure your scans are saved as .jpg files. When you open photobucket, just browse to the file where your scans are, and download.

Hopefully these are the pictures that we are thinking of.I know I have lost some sleep thinking about it.
So without further ado here is the Super Nova Twin Turbo.


I have one more page loading into photobucket coming right up.
I could see myself making a copy of this car.
