1972 NovaOG Steel BodyDrag RaceCar

This nova has been a drag car since the '80s from what I know. It came from Washington- Spokane Area. I purchased it 5 years ago and have raced itat my local track. I also race a Z06 corvette and don't have time to run both of them. I have ran it at Bandimere in Denver CO a few times. It is a blast to drive - very easy to make consistent fast runs. I haven't ran it since July of '17. Due to limited garage space, it is time for this car to move on. This car was tech inspected @ Bandimere Speedway for 10.0 ET. I had the car on a dyno and RWHP is about 450. With me in it (170 lbs) the gross weight is 2850. In Colorado, at 5800 ftaltitude, it runs 11.20s. Years ago it ran 10.15 in Seattle. Original color was red,I'm not sure what the original powerplant was. These 68-72 Nova coupes are getting harder to find, so this would be a greatfind for someone. It is ready to take to the track now!! I would say this isnot street legal, but actually wouldn't take a lot to make a pro street car. It has a NOS set up on it, but I never completed the kit set up or ran it.The motor should be capable of a 250 shot to make the cara lot faster.

Now about the details:

All steel body including the floor, firewalland rear wheel tubs and trunk - the only thing that is not steel is the Fiberglass hood, deck lid, front and rear bumpers. The dash frame was removed, the inner doors are cut out to lose some weight. The windshield is original glass, all the other glass is Lexan. All of the chrome trim is factory & in decent shape.

All of the hard partsare in great shape.High capacity oil pan, high volume oil pump,electric water pump, MSD distributor, 7AL ignition controlbox, High torque starter, Solidmotor mounts and much more. The headers are stainless steel with mufflers, but still very loud! This motor starts every time and never gets much over 180F running. Very nice heavy duty radiator and trans cooler.I have plenty of pics of the motor when it was disassembled. This is an 8000 rpm motor.

Transmission - TCI Built powerglide with transbrake and 5500 stall converter. I have never had it serviced, but it shifts and hits solid.AHurst pro shifter. The transbrakeis air operated. The shifter has air capability, but is not connected. It has an SFI safety shield.

There is no rust on the body. The rear 1/4 panels were pushed out to clear 29.5x10x15 tires and there is some cracked bondo from some time in the past.The paint is fair for arace car - not ashow car. It is black satin - the red stripes are painted on.
