I can fill in some blanks about the 68 Nova. Don Kidd was the son of the parts manager, Virgil Kidd, for Bill McKay Chev. I worked there and had raced cars for years. Don raced the car when he first got it in High School. It was a dark blue 327 4 speed.
Virgil asked me to assist with the car.
The dealership bought the car along with buying the ZL-1 from Dick Harrell.

I built the engine for the Nova, installed one of the first Z-28 offset dual Holleys.
Labor Day 1969, class record was 12.06, backed it off the trailer with a 12.05.

Finally ran 11.86 with a .060 over 327, 4 speed, 5.38.

Car was sold to a guy that worked in the body shop, never seen again. May have been painted grey.
