What year model is that Nova? '69-'71, something like that? I had a '76, 350 w/3 spd. floor shift from the factory. One of the funnest vehicles I ever had. :cheesy: That thing was brutal.... :grin:

I saw this old post and it reminded me of my old 74 Nova I built just out of High School. Had lots of good times in that car. I couldn't find any "big" headers when I built it so I had to settle for those! LOL!!! Those pictures were taken in the mid to late 70's. You have any better pics of yours Tintman? I'd like to see them.

And a trailer hitch too! That was back in the day when someone would think nothing of pulling a boat behind a car. Nowadays, that's a rare scene.

LOL!!!  Yep, I used it to tow the boat, motorcycle trailers, and even the race car with it (I had it for awhile). Funny thing about those pictures is they were taken somewhere in between Clovis and Lubbock after I had out run a state cop that was chasing me. I got far enough ahead to turn down some country road and hid out there for several hours waiting for things to cool down. Took the pictures cause I was bored. Ah the good ol days!!! LOL!!! You can't see much in those picture but it was the factory gold color and I painted candy orange fading into candy yellow panels on it. Then I sprayed the whole car with a gold pearl. I miss that car..........or maybe being young.......not sure which!! LOL!!
