'69Novajoe (Joe Camuglia's) Original Owner SS Nova

[firstgenaddict]

Hey did anyone else notice that those SB exhaust manifolds have overspray all over them? Was the engine assembled in Tonowonda (T) or Flint (V)?

Bruce,
1) I'll be hanging around all right. I don't think I've even scratched the surface yet!!
2) I never thought those tow tabs were that desirable. I'll have to have them powder coated first though.
3) You took the words right out of my mouth - if it hadn't been for Dave Lindsley inviting you guys, I wouldn't be here.

firstgenaddict(James) and SS427(Rick) - I think the motor was built in Tonawanda because it had that cool little chrome looking sticker on the valve cover that says "Chevrolet Tonawanda - The Number 1 Team" And until you guys pointed it out, I never noticed the orange over-spray on the exhaust manifolds. I'm still learning something about that car all the time!!
1970Bluel78(Geoff) - When you say "left off the red line
tires, did you mean why aren't they on the car now?? If that's the question, the car is definitely not totally original, but I have been thinking about getting some red lines to complete the "look". Does anybody here know anything about those Diamond Back Classic tires. I'm not looking to be correct as far as size is concerned, I just want them to look cool. If anyone can post a picture or send me one to look at, I would appreciate it.
Tommy - The traction bars are old Ansen bars from 1969. Still have the Torque Thrusts too.

Two more things -

and

No - you can't have it!!!!!

Cars with their original owners like Joe here or Roger, Barnhart and others that've kept or tracked down cars they bought new really are something special!.
A group of original owners only competing against each other on the track at an event would be cool!.

Thanks Mark. I actually took the picture just when the sun was going down. It was a vacant building in Laguna Hills and is now a church. Sometimes you get lucky!!

I love it Ken. When did you get it?? Picture has a 2005 date stamp. Don't think I ever saw that car around here!! What brand of tires are those? They look like radials.

I bought the car back in 2003........it had 9,600 miles on it when I got it.......It now has 11,400.....the tires are Coker Radials.......It's the only car I really don't drive much because of the mileage......
