70 Nova/Grumpy's Toy...
Been wanting to do some Day 2 stuff to our 70 L78 TH400 Nova. Over the winter I connected with some guys through the site that knew the car back in the day. I was told the original owner set up the car like Grumpy's with black wall tires and Cragars. This car was sold new at Laks Chevrolet in Buffalo and was heavily street raced.
The car currently has 15x7 steel wheels on the rear and 15x6 on the front...tires are 235/70 and 225/70.
So, should I keep these tires [they are like new] Firestone Indy 500's...or swap them out...?? Will need to source the Cragar mags as well.
Car has headers, original Lakewood bars, 4.10 gear, small converter, 163 intake with 850VS Holley, 4 core radiator, flex fan, taller front springs, etc.
Any thoughts are appreciated. Also interested in any Laks Chevrolet items like plate frames, emblems, etc.
Just took it for ride...it runs strong.
Thanks, wilma
