On a diffrent note is the green inteior big block nova's the only ones that came with the rosewood insert in the steering wheel? Thats the second one I have seen, was that standard on option?

This steering wheel is in the best shape I have ever seen!!!! Unbelivable condition and yes rose wood. Option wise I dont know.

I have only seen one other one in a 70 green big block car

That's really not a rosewood wheel....this is the woodgrain trim (really decals) that was an option on 69 cars...I have seen it in lots of Camaros and full size (I think)...don't believe it was really an option for Novas...not much work to install the wood grain on a std. black wheel.

John,

This car is absolutely awesome! I wish I would have found it! I can't wait to see this car in person.

John, just so you know, the address for Brigance on the window sticker is the storage lot that all of the new cars were delivered to because of lack of room at the dealership.

Here is where the car came home to.

841 N. Kenilworth

Thanks for coming around and not being upset anymore. We are all car lovers on these boards. I'll even put out the OLIVE BRANCH out there for you to take. We'll call John P. have him bring the " Nova II TUFF" car out to my restuarant "STRAT's 50's Diner" and I'll buy you a great lunch!!!! Then we'll go out side and see the car, you'll probabably feel like pukeing some great food after seeing the condition of the car though! LOL

Strat, I usually don't get involved in anymore negative crap on sYc, and have laid low for at least the past two years on this site. With that said, I have met you and you are a cool dude. At first I didn't believe that was even you acting like this. Why don't you just give it a rest. You sold the car and got your dough. John got a cool car and that is that. Please don't give this car a bad vibe like some families have done to their family name in this hobby because of not letting it go.

End of story.

On a brighter note, here is some cool Brigance memorabilia from my collection of Chicago area dealer memorabilia.

I think you interpreted it wrong. I do want to me meet him and enjoy a lunch, the puke thing is totally a joke in good humor. Come on it's sunny out side let's enjoy the spring season is coming around!
