Yes it is Ken's old car. Pic was from the barn finds display at Winnipeg world of wheels 2017.

Very cool...thanks for posting. I noticed the bracket installed on the driver's side of the engine...pretty sure that is the part installed for the motor mount recall issue.

Great time capsule and neat race history...almost a twin to our old silver 69 car.

Yup, he said he put that in back in the day, to keep the engine in place in case of motor mount breakage.

Wilma,
Weren't the lift brackets not installed around the driver side manifold hooked up to the a arm shaft? If what you say is correct then what did they do for power steering cars?

Wow, nice Nova!

[Zman1969]

first off
Can I have it, since he wont sell it

that has to be rarer than hell - who would preserve an Nova? Camaro yes but Nova?
absolutely incredible!

I love survivor cars wish someone would do a nut and bolt picture write up like Charley did on the 70Z - so little Nova info out there - Wilma- would you consider it?

Camaros get all the glory...but, only true car guys love a Nova!

I would be happy to help with a Nova project...between the 5800 mile Orange Cooler and the 22,000 mile L78 we should be able to put something together.

Let me know what you have in mind for details and I'll see what I can do.

Didn't Da Grump choose to run the L78 Nova in '68? His sponsors steered him towards the Camaro?
