Re: Rare cars still being raced
My Dad's 66 Nova II SS L79, his cousin bought it new in 66, 327/350hp, 4 speed with 4.11 rear, and was originally marina blue with matching interior. My dad bought it from him when he turned 16 in 71 and drove in high school and did some street racing, and then started racing it and built it into a stocker and then a super stocker.
He eventually stopped racing when he started his own business and didnt have the time so my grandfather started racing it, he took the 350hp engine out to change the class and put in a powerglide. Eventually he built a GT car out of an 80's camaro and sold the Nova because he wasn't using it without talking to my dad about it.
The car is now owned by and still raced by Sean Gaffney who put a stick back in it and the 350hp engine.
