Dave did the resto on the Cortez Silver 69 L78 Nova we used to own ...It was called the Silver Streak!

I'm proud to say Dave is a friend of mine. he has retired and sold his business . I still believe 20 years ago he had no equal with his attention to detail and desire to make each car the best it could be. I do not currently have his # but if I talk to him ill see if I can get you two in touch. he let me hang around and I got to see some of the rarest muscle cars pass through his shop, copo,s yenko's ZL1's Hemi Cuda convertibles 409 cars 57 fuel injected cars and many others. THANKS DAVE Nuge

I got to see that nova go through the shop, it needed to be restored but is was a good car to start with.

----Thanks, nugeusa1! I'm not looking for a restoration, but trying to get a little info on a terrific resto he did quite awhile ago. I pretty sure he will remember it.....Bill S

Which resto is it? Nuge or another one from around here may know about it. Good buddy of ours was one of daves main paint/body guys and did several of the cars, including the 3.5M 71 Hemi Cuda convertible.

Hearing some of their stories is always a big treat for me. So crazy to imagine all that went on in the tiny town of Edmonton. It's about like Mayberry if that gives u any idea!

That Nova was featured on the cover of Nova Times awhile back...nice write up that included a personal story from the person who owned it before me and had had the restoration done by Tinnell. We showed it a the Nova Nats one year and it was displayed at a GM car dealership in Albany, NY at one point.

Not sure who has it now...
