You guys w the mega lists: still have a couple as KEEPERS?

Great stories!

Frank: In a couple of drag racing stories, I've read about in car magazines, early
Nova's are still kicking butt. ....I'm thinking about a '64, and a sleeper green '68-72.
If I remember right, they both can run 7's in the quarter.

When I was married; early on, my ex had a '69 6/auto in the goldish color.

I drove a couple of '74's as 4 door business cars for a bank. They had 350's in them,
and were a blast to drive. We would, unknown to the management, open up the airfilter area, so you could feel, and hear the moan at full throttle.

A '73, or '74 should not be too expensive around here. The Portland area even
among most civilians, is so green, or BMW oriented, that rustfree examples
are almost in the looked past group.

I found out that in Spanish, Nova means no go! So hispanics probably were not impressed.
