No idea what became of her or the car....

Nice. But not "stock" that car is making at least 450 crank to run that good. What mods are allowed in that class?

PSJohn, no mods, but fully dialed-in suspensions and the mechanicals like engine and trans are fully blueprinted and balanced.

Strange, I heard about Owen and the COPO '70 Nova, LT1 350 car with factory traction bars. I actually LOOKED at the car when it was for sale and the owner claimed it was a "COPO 1970 NOVA LT1 350, 1 of 2 sold in London, ON". Strange how much slower that car is on the list then his Yenko?

OK then.....I'm sorry for muddying up this informative thread....

Fresh from Vietnam I crashed with a couple buddies to get my head on straight and find my own place.
Their house was two blocks from the university campus, pretty much party central 3-4 nights a week.
Linda came by a couple times, announced by the rumble out in the street. Attractive blonde, about 5'10", The Vette was a red coupe, no side pipes and I believe aluminum slots.
