I'll let Dave tell the rest. Here's the pic.

Re: Anyone have info on Dave's New Big Block Nova?
Thanks Bruce,
This is the 1970 Nova SS 396/375 I ordered new when I was 19 years old. I did end up lowering the car after the balljoints started to rip through the upper A-frames with only 2300 miles on the car. Dave L. SoCal

Re: Anyone have info on Dave's New Big Block Nova?
I am in fact working on more info for Dave. Nova came out of Berglund Ashville/Jamestown NY, same selling dealer of my '67 435 Corvette. They sold some hi-po stuff and exist today as Shults Chevrolet (nothing left, I tried long ago). Bruce Smith, attorney in Akron area is the guy who bought it at Canfield (330-821-1430) from the Erie guy, Haines. I am trying for some earlier history on the car.

[/ QUOTE ] Looks mean! Brings back lots of memories. A highschool class mate came back from the Navy and bought a '68 L-78/M-22 Chevelle. That car didn't last long. Didn't stand up well to a 48" Oak Tree at the edge of the road on a foggy night. Killed two of the three guys in the car and the owner/driver lost a leg in the accident. Before he was back on his feet (no pun intended), he had ordered a '69 L-78 M-40 Nova. He took delivery before he could drive again so I spent a ton of time behind the wheel for him. Low option car with buckets but no console; F. Green with black guts. This car looks VERY similar. We've tried to track that car but are pretty well convinced it's now in a cube.  Driving an L-78 Nova makes you grin a lot!

Re: Anyone have info on Dave's New Big Block Nova?
There's been a lot of banter about the "back in the day" look vrs the stock look, and I think part of the reason there's kind of a raw edge to the issue, is that a lot of us "geezers" lived the day. The cars, and the times, and the history at those moments have special meaning to a lot of us. It really isn't something that you can actually convey in a discussion. Mr.Cumby, I think you (we) should change the "we get it" to "you had to be there to understand". BTW very cool deuce.
