Default Re: Some more vintage pics...Coddington Camaro!

Tomorrow I wiil post pics of my friend Mark's Nova...a car ahead of it's time for sure!

It had an LT-1 with the heads modified for heavy duty springs and pushrods with guide plates. The gas tank was in the trunk, the rear was slightly narrowed (We went to school with some of the Currie family)and the rear rims had some trick backspacing as well. It had a reverse manual valve body and 3500 stall converter. Dual remote oil filters mounted to the inner fenderwell, too. Looked like a granny car until you got on it!

The Nova ran a best of 13.04 shutting it off before the lights due to 3 bent pushrods! LOL

The car was eventually sold to Jim Thomas who owned Genuine Suspension....and we never saw it again....
