 You read the title and said, “WTF?” are these guys talking about, right? We didn’t know what the hell we watched when we first sat through this neat clip ourselves. The car you are going to see the outside of first and the ride on the inside of is a Chevy Nova. Technically it is a 1971 Chevy Serie 2 as they were sold in Argentina, but it is a Nova. You have to look past the nose which was an aerodynamic replacement for the factory front clip on the car. This car is very, very famous in Argentina as it was the whip of Roberto “toro” Mouras one of the country’s racing heroes. This car was his trademark whip before he was killed in a racing accident. He’s the man driving in this video.

One thing we’ll admit here is being stumped on the engine. The revs is pulls are freaking nuts so we thought it was a four banger, but it sounds kind of like a sixer on the way up to peak RPM and it does have a pair of exhaust pipes peeking out from under the car so perhaps it is a six banger with a split style header? It has a relatively small two barrel carb on it and the engine does not have a cross flow head so we must be listening to highly modified factor parts at work. Can you tell what mill this thing is? There isn’t much to go on other than the orange valve cover. The car was offered with an inline six as an engine option when sold new so perhaps it is a six banger that has been worked over hard. You tell us.

Now, the next big question is in regard to where this is taking place. Not the country, we know that is Argentina. It appears that the car is being thrashed to its maximum top speed down a public road. We think that the road may be part of one of the courses used in the race series known as Turismo Carrerera in which Mouras competed. The series is pretty cool and it continues today with cars like the one you see along with the Argentinean version of a Plymouth GTX, the Ford Falcon, and the Torino which was a modified Rambler American sold down there. Today the race cars are tube chassis fiberglass bodied machines but the one in this video is a steel body from the cowl back and a ‘glass nose.

So there’s your lesson on Argentinean racing series, now listen to this wild screaming bastard in the video below!
