1969 Chevy Nova A Z-28 Nova American Muscle Cars Pictures
The world of "what if" is a far more interesting place to explore, as in: "What if Chevrolet had offered the Z/28 option on the Nova?" This became a recurring theme with Strope. Never being satisfied with the "what if" factor, he quickly shifted into the realm of "why not?" Why not build a 1969 Z/28 and put "the what ifs" to bed? The car would sport many first-gen Camaro Z/28 features-cross-ram, dual-quad intake, rear spoiler, houndstooth interior with console-mounted gauges. However, the suspension and brakes would be grounded in the 21st century and the powerplant would make more power than the factory 302 ever dreamed of.

Starting from the ground up, the Nova's subframe was worked over like one of Tony Soprano's victims. The original suspension was given a pair of cement shoes, then deep-sixed. In its place went an infinitely more capable Global West G-Plus system of upper and lower tubular A-arms, coilover springs and shocks, 1-inch sway bar, subframe connectors and body mounts. The rear received Global West leaf springs and Del-A-Lum bushings, Strange S60 Dana axles and 3.73 gears.

Interior 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Hardtop Coupe |
The SS 396 Chevelle included a 350 horsepower (260 kW) Turbo-Jet 396 V-8, special suspension, "power dome" hood, black-accented grille, resilient rear-bumper insert, and wide-oval tires on sport wheels. Though a 375 horsepower (280 kW) upgrade was available, few were sold—primarily because the added cost brought the total too close to the SS 454. The 454-cubic-inch V-8, offering 360 horsepower (270 kW) in standard form but a whopping 450 horses in solid-lifter, high-compression, LS-6 guise. The latter made a Chevelle one of the quickest muscle cars ever built.
