Hot Nova
'70 Nova
Mike Cosculluela
Englewood, OH
Mike Cosculluela's '70 Nova is sure to grab attention in his hometown. Not only does it have a custom hot rod-style flame paint job, but it was also fitted with fiberglass bumpers front and back along with a cowl hood. The worked-over 327ci small-block is backed by a Turbo 350 transmission, and a set of 3.73:1 cogs out back gets the rubber spinning: 16x7 and 17x8 Torq-Thrust American Racing Wheels on all four corners.
Budget 'Maro
'69 Camaro SS
Timothy Land
South Portland, ME
Like most of us, Timothy Land was on a budget, and while this car took him five years to complete, it was obviously time well spent. Tim began with a frame-off restoration; the wiring, fuel and brake systems, suspension, and interior were scrapped and replaced with original GM products. He dropped in a built 427ci small-block with GMPP aluminum heads and manifold. To get the Camaro moving, a Turbo 350 transmission was installed and mated to a Hole Shot converter and backed up with an Auburn-geared 3.55:1 10-bolt.
