Johnson/Delorenzo 65 Nova

[RPOZ28]

This 65 Nova was turned into a race car in 1971 and has been on the track ever sense. It was sponsord by Bob Johnson(Scuncio Chevrolet) and driven by Joe Delorenzo. It now runs in SS/JA but it was a stick car back in the day. Bob's name was on the car in 1971 so it looks at home on the car today. The engine goes in next weekend and i'll post more pictures then.

Things change and my memory is getting foggy -- best I remember SS/JA was the 283- 220 hp?

[RPOZ28]

It runs a 327 powerglide and may run in SS/IA. The car set the recorded last year @ 9.90 in SS/IA. Ed

Thats a uniuqe looking oil pan you have there.

The oil pan was custom made by Moroso. It was a little over $1000 to have made and worth evry penny from what i'm told. Ed
