1969 ?COPO? Nova replica? (the "OUR COPO" sing confused me)

That car belongs to our very own Tom Williams, a.k.a. WILMASBOYL78

That yellow Nova sure was a beautiful car. Great to see it in person.

I think we need some kind of secret high-sign or handshake from now on so we can tell who is who. I thinking about using the one from the Little Rascal's "He-Man Woman Hater's Club."

How about having next year's Supercar Reunion at the Musclepalooza event? That way I could make it. I think we had about a dozen members there this year.

Hi Steve,
I loved the photo coverage of that event from you. Thank you!
As for your idea of the "secret handshake" or something similar, it's a great idea. Any member of this site who has a car at a show would certainly like to meet another member. Our JLG club had 2" transfer decals made that fit perfectly on a vent window. If the SYC site had something like that available, I'm sure everyone would proudly put one on their cars.

Maybe next year I'll have a blue '62 up there to join the Joisey boys.

Some more random photos I found:

1971 Cuda 340 ragtop (won Second place Best Plymouth)



A couple of 69 440 Six-Barrel Roadrunners. There was a bunch of the here for the FAST racing:



The black FAST 440 Six-Barrel roadrunner in action. The white disc on the front wheel is an original advertising disc that the dealers sold. It was a bizarre contraption. It involved a wheel bearing cover with a stud coming off of it that would mount the disc on the stud. So when the wheel turned, the disc stayed stationary and showed the giant roadrunner logo. I guess it was the prehistoric predecessor of those ridiculous "bling" wheels that have the free spinning blades that keep rotating when the car stops.



1970 340 Six-Barrel AAR cuda outrunning a 440 Six-Barrel.



A 409/409 outrunning a 69 Hurst Olds.

You know that would be a neat idea to have a little sticker made up. If it was in the design of an old dragstrip "win" sticker" I think everybody would put love to put that on their car.

Hey, I finally got to use these lugnuts that I found in that old closed down speed shop a few months ago: The NOS left hand and right hand lugnuts for the American Racing 200S wheels! They were oh so nice and shiny once I got them out of the package and they fit perfectly. I got to junk the old generic mag wheel nuts that had three washers on each lug because they were too long for the supposedly correct application.

(Note: Mopars built prior to early 1970 used left hand lug nuts on the driver's side of the car. Many a Mopar owner has found out the hard way after breaking off a few wheel studs using their SuperMoparMullet strength in the wrong direction)

Steve,
I hate to turn this into a "wanted" ad, but I'm drooling over those lugnuts. The original M/Ts I have on my black car and the 15" E-Ts that were on the blue '62 all need those short depth 7/16-20 lugs. (all RH of course). PLEASE contact me through a PM or email if you have any more. I hate the looks of the new ones on those old wheels.

By the way, you didn't mention which car won Best Dodge................

Verne

PS: That white 409 beating the Olds is a '63, so it might be a 425hp. No 409Hp in '63, although there was a service package available in April of '62 that upgraded everything to 425hp '63 specs. (NHRA approved too).
