So, any predictions what he'll get for it at auction?

When I was in High School, Rick and his ex-wife ran a speed shop in Springfield, VA (outside Washington, DC) in an industrial park area. This is where we bought all of our parts and there was a pretty big street race scene out in front of their shop on weekend nights. I remember watching the build of the nova take place as they would let us go in the back of the shop and check out the progress. They also hosted a few car shows at the shop back around 1979-81 time frame before I went off to college. I also remember his wife had a beautiful 67 white tri-power (427-400) corvette with AC. He then went on the build the J2000 and I think he and his wife split up not too long after that and the shop closed down in the mid 80's. Many great memories.

For some reason I always thought that car sat more level.
