I don't know. I guess I'll have to go down to the local junkyard and see if there's any "fresh pickin's".

Mine would be a '70 Nova with the LT-1 35O/360 horse engine (same engine as the '70 Z28). Lots of documentation that at least 170 were built and sold. Most went to Yenko for their Yenko Duece program but not all. They were actually a COPO car, COPO 9737AA.

Unfortunately, it's not in the NHRA Classification Guide for the Nova body. It would make a killer good C or D car.

My dream car has always been a 1967 RO23 Hemi Belvedere. Every winter I would look at the thousands of my father's (God rest his soul) slides. And, as a kid, I saw slides of the Maddia Brothers car (now owned/campaigned by Danny Smith), and fell in love. So that, hands down, is mine.

Would be a good one. NHRA rated 320 stick or 325 Auto.

This would be in my top 5.

Great car. I love to see many of the old photos/slides reintroduced on many Facebook groups, I can look at them for hours.

I agree Alan. That's what I really wished I could have done with my Nova. Never understood why it wasn't in the guide. Especially since the engine is already in there for the Camaro.

My choice at this time:
Chevrolet 1956,210, four speeds, for the FGT/A class with a Copo 2016 350 Chevy supercharged engine...
(Car name will be something like " Fast Brick"...)
Enjoy,
