'70 Berger "Super" Nova - old newspaper photo

[camarojoe]

Although just about impossible to see in that pic... in a clearer version of this same car, it shows that the front fender said "Super Nova"... What's neat about it is that it appears they used the "Super" portion of the "Super Sport" 1/4 panel emblem from a 66/67 Chevy II SS. No idea how many besides this one (if any) were built... I know I've never seen one. I think they make a die cast model of this car now.

California Car Cover Company (www.calcarcover.com) was selling a 1:18 scale die-cast model about a year ago, but I don't know if they're any longer available.

Camarojoe,

Just out of curiousity, have you ever seen any other photo's, advertisements or spec sheets for the Super Nova? I can only assume that with a name like "Super Nova", Berger would've bolted on some performance mod's under the hood also.

Thanks,

No, just a clearer version of the same photo you posted.

Dennis Barker told me 10, and that they had 300hp 350's None have been found to his knowledge. That's called a go wing. Used on Mach 1s, and some mopars. Schonye

Hey Schonye, So... how much horse did the "Go-Wing" add? Hehehe.

I've got a go wing on my 70 challenger RT/SE 440 4spd. They start to work around 130 mph.
