Cool Car. Awesome Docs! And what a find in that Rear.

Kind of cool to see the old school snorkle hood scoop. I remember when they were the "in" thing.

Wow, finding that code is like getting a winning scratch-off lottery ticket!

Ed where have you been! Cool car, you can never have enough nova's! What are your plans.

We should get our cars together and spawn an expensive Camaro. My 71 that was supposed to have a 454 in it had a 69 512 casting 427, correct for Corvette's and COPO's (it has the oil cooler provisions on it). We could be rich, rich, rich!;)

And let me guess... you got the car for a song too... :D

Very nice find... what kind of goodies are under the hood?

Scott

Ed, cool car..nice to see you back in action...maybe you can find your way to the UPS counter now!

I have the original spare tire and jack and the speedo show's 12,013 miles. The floor's,trunk,doors and rockers are solid and only needs the quarter lips replaced and the bottom of the fenders fixed,the paint is original on the car. Ed

Congrats Ed on another new find for you,sweet Nova!! Are you gonna restore this one ? Hows your 427 Scuncio Chevelle and 68 Nova SS 396 Scuncio Racecar coming along? Looks like your gonna have some real nice collection of cars.Looking for any others?? Dan

Nice find! Any indication on the history of the rear? Any chance to reunite the rear with the original Camaro/donor?

Very nice !! What gauges are those, I couldn't tell but they look like old Autometer.

Tommy:)

Ktown,I'll PM you a picture and you can post it if you want...Dan

Marlin, I have a leed on the car. I was told it is still here in RI and has been a race car for a long time. It was tubbed after the rear was taking out. Dan the Chevelle is just sitting and I don't own the 68 Nova that Bob had. Tommy the gauges are newer Auto meters. Jason I have been very busy at the shop,i'll give you a call. Ed

That is a cool find! If only cars could talk!
