Nova 1171

Jimmy70RSSS · 01-26-2024, 02:10 AM

Does anyone have any information on a 1969 Nova B/S 396/375 combo # 1171. A friend has a chance to buy the car and I can’t find the driver number 1171. The car supposedly sat for 12 years.

Wow, was wondering what happened to Arnold’s car. If that’s indeed it the car was BAD FAST.

When I want to research a car or driver, the first place that I look is Drag Race Central. This was the first thing (I didn't check to see if it was the most recent) that came up:

Stock Eliminator Qualifying, Final Order
EPPING, N.H. - Final order after 3 rounds of qualifying in Stock Eliminator at the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, Northeast Division, event at New England Dragway:
49 1171 B/S Ronnie Brigham, Hampton NH, '69 Nova 10.649 11.20 -0.551

Plus, if there is the off-chance that the driver entered NHRA National events, I look up the name at Auto Imagery. I found three shots of Ronnie's SS Chevy II from 1982.
