Power Tour 07

I agree Mark. That car is just PERFECT!! IF those injection stacks are real, I imagine he's been spending a lot of time on the side of the road in the rain.
The name sounds very familiar, but I can't place it.

Met John Vettefest, super nice guy and neat car. He built the Nova using the March '66 issue of HotRod magazine that featured the Bill Thomas "Instant Funnycar" in it as a blueprint and did a remarkable job.

Plans are for John to have the car at SCR10 as part of the Nickey display, and if all goes well (on my end), I hope to have the orignal BT Nova there as well.

Last time I saw the car it had a 502 with the injectors converted to EFI. Verne, he fools around with 409 cars quite a bit and had a beautiful 1961 409 (fawn, i think) and a '62 Bel Air '09 also.

Tuesday afternoon: Just wanted to add that I just spoke with Dennis Thomas(lives in Springfield,IL). He is at Illinois State Fairgrounds and Hot Rod Power Tour. He is displaying his 71 Lime Green Z-28, parked along with Don Stowers Black 66 GTO, Mike Steitz(St Louis area) 70 Camaro SS, and Annie Hartweg/ Denis Cumby driving ??? (sorry spelling)........I am hoping they can find Jeff Betz who is driving the tour in his 502 Powered 69 Chevelle wagon along with his father. Jeff(FYI)is the lead judge at Camaros at Carlisle in charge of 2nd Gen LEGENDS Camaros, and lives in Macomb, MI.

Yeah, I can get that way sometimes....

I have to look up his name. I might have documented a car for him. Just can't pin it down right now. But that Nova makes me too!

John had a 62 pro-street 409 bubble that I went to look at a long before the Nova. Think he sold that quite a while ago. That Nove was EFI...

-----Chuck,,,Give Jeff a big "HI" for me as I sold him the green 69 wagon that now has his beautiful workmanship in it as well as a bit of my labor as well. If someone gets a pic of it on the Power Tour I would be grateful........Bill S

--------Reading back over your post Im not sure you are there, Chuck. In any event, someone say Hi to jeff for me, OK???

Annie let Cumby drive the Black '02 ZL1 into the show and was parked next to Don and Judi but she gets to drive it home. Last I heard, the whole gang went out for dinner and partying.

Jeff is a cool guy! I checked out that green wagon a few weeks back - super clean.
