Paul,
Great picture is that recently as a restoration or an old one of the car.
In reading the track/ road test article from Hot Rod the page ended when they were going to add the slicks? Any idea of how fast they were able to make it run.

FYI; my 66 SS NOVA L-79 when new would run 14 flat-13.90’s in show room stock with 3.36 rear and tiny rear tires with lots of wheel hop. Of course it was probably 250 lbs. lighter than the 68 plus the stock shifter was just as bad as they reported by Hot Rod.

Thanks

Jim
