Do you guys think that is the same car ? Color isn't mentioned in the article. In my mind it has always been silver/grey because I was trying to buy a silver 71 at the time... Funny. Love that Nova...

Looking at that picture cost me some time and money. Back then mini tubbing was not very common yet. It was hilarious after I finished because everywhere I went someone would be rolling under my car to check out how I did it. No Detroit Speed back then. My buddies and I would just giggle. Getting it low with (near) stock rails and leafs was a challenge. I sectioned pieces of the trunk floor to accommodate/hide the rear hangers and shackles so I could keep it all tucked and look semi stock from the trunk. Fuel cell for a while then later sectioned both sides of a stock tank and tucked it back under there.

This car is a LOT of fun on the street. 11.60's at the track, with 11:1 solid cammed 358, 5speed (Liberty Faceplated) TKO 600, 9 inch 4:33's
