Killer pics thanks men

Can some one please tell me about the roof of this Nova?

Great pictures. I love Novas. One of the coolest little cars ever made.

 

nice pics

 

NOVA?

Nope!

That is my American... Altered Wheelbase (as much as possible)

 

supposed to have been built for road racing by bill thomas .....i have a picture of one that has a 427 mystery motor and a corvette irs rear.....pretty sure all 5 ended up drag racing ....alan green chevrolet had a nice one....the ckc was fritz callier car....would have to check on the others...one may have been platts car....brandon

 

Do you have any shots of the rear of the car showing the roof line. What was the roof line grafted from? I have never seen one of these before.

Thanks for the info.

 

I heard that they were from a charger. but not positive on that

 

That roof is from a AMC marlin I believe? Not positive, but that is my guess...

 

Sorry, didn,t think the first post went through....

 

i think the magazine said it was a custom fiberglass piece....the alan green car was for sale a couple years ago......at the time i think it 75k .....i've wanted to build one of these since i was 12 years old.....always thought they were neat looking.....brandon

 

I really like that Jungle Jim Nova.......low and MEAN!

 

did a search on this .....worth the read....

Uploaded some of my collection of novas.. i have many many pictures ive '' borrowed without askin'' from the net.. all kinds of cars, mainly drag cars from the 60's and there specifics on how they were engineered, allthough those photos are pretty rare to come across.

 

You are correct sir. Also here is a photo of jeff phitsingers II.

 

here's my nova...not a straight axle, but i'd like to build one some day....

 

They had this at the NHRA Museum 2 summers ago. Very stoke. Either a restoration or a clone of the one pictured a few replies back.

 

a few

 

Thanks for the pics lots of good ideas.

 

During my trip to Pamona's NHRA museum, last month, the car was still there. Very cool!! How 'bout a wagon?? , this one was for sale at $700!! Too bad it wouldn't fit into my cary on luggage back to Orlando.
Also, saw an orange?red? one tooling around the Turkey Rod run last weekend. Never caught up with it for closer inspection. Cool thread!! I have built a few model cars like this when I was younger, think they are still in my Mom's attic.
