Interesting that the Camaro or Nova is sporting a 10 bolt!

Which photo or text shows that?

Ok, the Nova was a small block car, not even an SS.

I am aware what the nova was. I just meant it was interesting that they didn't upgrade the diff but since it's an auto probably wasn't a concern. And your welcome.

That spoiler also came on one of Harrell's COPOs, IIRC.
Thanks Darrell for that picture. Nice vintage shot - notice how dark the springs are.

OK but I was just going by what you typed, which seemed to be unclear which car it was. Thanks for the pic. It seems to be a larger view than what was originally posted in the thread. Where is it from?

Right. My comment was that I wasn't 100% certain which car the diff shot was from but the Nova was a low horse sb and one would assume the diff was from the Nova but I didn't wanna make a statement without 100% proof. All photos came from the Petersen Archive.

great photos

the 69 Camaro looks like it may have been a COPO 427 with that hood and silver grill and bow tie emblems ?

maybe Harrell swapped out the shortblock to make it a 454?

interesting they used a Thermoquad carb and Hurst products and that spoiler
all items that Harrell did ads for

Found a few more pictures of the Harrell Nova 454 at the Petersen Automotive Museum Digitization Project. Search "1970 Kansas City International Raceway" to find them here: https://archive.petersen.org/pages/home.php

Awesome Scott!

There was a posting 10-15 years ago on Yenko.net of a Silver 69 Harrell Camaro with the same spoiler and the stripe in black on the side...

Scott, great stuff and research as always

Those wheels on the Nova are Kelsey Hayes "Strippers" they are rare today.
