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.
