Also I remember that Lee Shepard ran a Nova wagon before he joined forces with Reher-Morrison. Also around our way Doug Thompson had a Maverick with a Boss 302 that was plenty fast. I think Rick Barrett did pretty good with an A/MP Capri with a 351c Pro Stock type motor in it also.

Yes, I remember seeing Lee Shepherd's UGLY green Nova wagon at the Springnationals. He went so fast in early qualifying that NHRA took him through teardown before he could make any more runs. Maybe someone has a pic of that car??? He was a wizard with the new technology of the time called a Flow Bench.
