My other Money pit…….

While I do enjoy trains I also have a 73 Nova SS with a 427 SBC paired to a TH350, 3.90:1 rear gear. I could bore you with all the engine components but let it suffice to say….it's pretty damn quick.

Here are a couple videos of before I started replacing the rear quarters. It has been out of commission for about 3 months now and I hope it is only about three more before I get her on the road again. I am repairing all the body work and replacing wiring harness, dash cluster and replacing the TH350 with a 700R4. The interior is gutted right now. I plan on painting it Metallic orange (I wanted burnt orange but the color I want is about $650 per gallon)

Note the license plate. The cops around here have a GREAT sense of humor. I've only had two try to race me.

Here are a couple videos. I have no idea how to embed them or if it is possible.

This one is a blast. I flattened my buddies stomach with this one….

I think you can see where my real passion lies…..

Nice ride ....the automatic trans snaps the shifts nice and quick . The 427 small block is a nice change from all the 350's I see . I'm a Ford guy and if I had the extra money I'd get a 427 Ford crate motor based on the 351 Ford small block !

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
