I’m a fan of the 1968-1972 Nova, and had a big tire example for years that unfortunately spent most of its time in the garage instead of on the track. I sold it because we needed the money for other projects, but whenever I see a cool one I want one again. I’ve got too many projects right now, but someone out there in BANGshift land needs to get this one. Hell, I might be able to help with shipping! This 1969 Nova is being sold as a roller, ran in the 9’s with its previous combination, and has a long list of great components on it. BANGshifter Rocco Bastone sent this lead in to us, and we love him for it. You’ll need your engine, trans, driveshaft and a fuel pump to make it a runner, but that’s a weekend problem. It has a clean title, is ready to rock, and would look EPIC on Rocky Mountain Race Week this year. It was painted 29 years ago and still looks great to me. I think a cut and buff would make it beyond nice. It only has a roll bar in it, so running 10.0 is all you can do legally, but converting it to a cage is a VERY easy task on one of these cars and the kit to do so can be had from Chris Alstons Chassisworks on the cheap.

People want that kind of money for a rusty 6 cylinder roller. This thing is a super deal.
Rocco finds some pretty cool cars. I would definitely look at this if I wasn’t north of the border during COVID. It won’t last long at that price.
Like it, (even the boat paint job), looks like a seller has a solid idea of used race cars value, somebody is going to have a fun car
