Peanut gallery here, but if you are interested to test the market reaction on the car, maybe one of the guys on here like Dykstra or Steve could put you in touch with Ashton to get the car into the barn find section.

If it's possible, it goes without saying if you spent any money now it would be to buy back original parts to the car if they are known.

I had this car in my files as a KNOWN car. Had it always had the X in the "known" section on the first page of the site? Either way, it's great that it's now getting the opportunity to be seen and dissected. I noticed in one of the OPs original posts that he thought going all the way back to stock would be the direction to go. I would disagree. Whatever its first race appearance attire should be the direction to take it. Again, great car and congrats!

its not an original bv rear you have as youve said earlier. an original rear for your nova with those needed dates would be really hard to find. the ring and pinion is the easiest part to find in your needed date range.

Should be the same BV rear as a Camaro, which I would guess you can find fairly readily. Super cool car.

We had a BE rear axle, found in a 72 Nova. Sold that to a COPO guy, years back.

Still trying to get a straight answer if there is a deal on the car.
