Not sure if Kurt is still with them but he was and by the looks of the years of dirt. It looks about right for when I knew he was there.

Only because it's been around to long... Visually you'd expect it to be a twelve second car, maybe elevens... Eights no way... But yeah it's been doing this to long & plenty of people know what it's capable of...

This thing has been on so many TV shows, websites, been in so many magazines and books (I saw it in a coffee table book about "sleepers" at Barnes and Noble) that it's cover has been blown for awhile now.

its the way it was when it was built....I saw it sitting next to the exotics sticking out like a sore thumb...I said to myself, who would bring a piece of junk like that here until I realized, this was that 8 second sleeper car...

I knew I had to snap some pictures because I dont wonder up north to the north side cruise nights...

the way it was built, you can tell in the pictures, that it was well thought out...

here are the pics I took of the show..

This car really is the inspiration for my latest project. Mine won't go in the 8's, but I'm hoping if it hooks and if I lean on it, it'll dip in the 9s… we'll see…

The only thing I never liked about that Nova was how big of a tire it had and the cal-traks. Lots of real fast 275/60 drag radial cars, no need to show off those big meats on the back!

Motor Pic. I went turbo instead of the SC's just because it was cheaper/easier for me to do...

I'm saying if I saw that car, heard that car I could tell it wasn't a warmed over 350. One walk around the car would tell you it's fast. 8 second fast maybe not. Plenty of ugly fast cars around and pretty slow cars. Mt ideal sleeper would be a 67 4 door valaint Tan.. BB Twin turbo no cage, w/ 14" rims and 10" or less of tire. To me the FAST cars are more of a sleeper than something like the Nova.
