Was this car from Gowanda? I have somewhere in my notes of a similarly specced 455 HO from Fox Motors in Gowanda. Was this the same car?

I live in WNY and my business is right down the street from Steve Battaglia's shop. Last I knew his niece got all his cars when he passed? Not a "supercar" but I did rescue a 68 Chevelle SS 396/375 4sp out of the Eastside 8 yrs ago from the original owner that was sold new at Bokman, it needed a full resto so I sold it. If I knew how to post pics of that I would. 2 cars in my collection worthy of this page but aren't supercars are a 68 L34 4sp and 70 L78 auto Nova's.

I had no idea Steve passed away, thats very sad to hear, his collection was legendary. I still am not sure which superbirds he had besides one white one (which I believe is the last superbird made) but he had some wild stories ive heard.
I think you can add attachments in additional options when you quote to reply or reply. We'd love to see your Novas! Supercar or not, L78 Novas are super cool!

Yeah about 2 years ago if I recall correctly. I'll try tonight when I get home with the pictures.

he sold the white one years ago. he still had 2 blue ones( a B5 and a Petty blue), a yellow one and a limelight one. the limelight one was sandblasted and the panels were warped really bad, so steve put it on the back burner and never got to it.

We grew up around the block from Steve and Dave Battaglia. Spent a lot of time with them playing sports then cars and just hanging around with them as kids.
