69 BB identification...."PICTURES ADDED"

[All American Racer]

I took some pictures of the car tonight but I can't post them because the smallest one is 220KB. 100000 bytes is the max allowed here. I'm new to this digital camera. What do I need to do to reduce the bytes? Marc

go to Easy Thumbnails and download the free software.

You can configure how many "bytes" that you want your pictures to be, and also what dimensions. I think that the moderators on this board would like them to be scaled to no more that 640x480? I scale mine to 500x500.

Hope this helps.

Send them to me and I can resize them and post them at Chevynova.org too.

Greg, I'm going to try the software first. If that doesn't work, I'll take you up on that offer. The pics aren't the best. I need to practice with the camera. Marc

All American Racer;

Here you go. Since there were 20 pictures I created a page for them here: 69 Big Block Pictures

Big thanks to Greg Roberts for helping me post pics of my car. Please rip it up guys. I need to know for sure if my car is a BB/4sp./SS. I believe it is a factory BB car. Please refer to previous posts in this thread for info. on that subject. SS/4sp. I don't know. I wanted to buy Charlie's brown BB but I was going through the AAR fiasco and missed out. I really like my car and knowing it's genuine would just be an added bonus. It's a driver. I paid 16,500 for it. My budget for a car was 15-20K. I found that to be a tough range to shop in because you can buy more than a parts car but not enough for a show car. This car was in the middle of my range and I feel it's a sharp driver. I hope you all agree. The pics shown are of the car as I bought it. My first job is to rebuild the front end. The control arm bushings are shot and the steering wheel has all kinds of freeplay. The car won't see a license plate until I know it's safe for my family. Funny how priorities change as time goes by. Marc

Marc...Either way I think its a pretty cool nova.
I've never really looked at a big block or a copo one for that matter. would the shifter on this car be the factory shifter?

[All American Racer]

No, it's a Hurst. The guy I bought it from only bought it to resell it. He (and I) feel the car was restified back in the eighties. Nothing is original on the drivetrain. I'd really like to hear some opinions about the way the shifter looks in relation to the "hump". My 73 (which I know was original 4sp)had a "boxed" hole from the factory. I don't see this on the 69 but I'm not sure if it was ever there. Marc
