Cool video, need to watch it with the audio off .
the background music will put you to sleep!

Blown fuel motors were like looking at jewels or art back then , no blower bags,valvecover shields or big ugly carbonfibre scoops.
I really enjoyed seeing the shots of the Jungle Jim '69 Nova.
A friend purchaced the car from Nick Bonifante in '74 after crashing his Corvette Altered,and ran it as a B/Altered with myself as a crewmember.
Sold it for $1500 bucks in '80!
If I only knew then what it'd be worth now.
