Thanks for the pix & info, gents.

I had never seen one up of these engines up-close until I went to a cruise-in on Saturday, and didn't have my camera with me!

I also didn't know the genesis of the engine.

I've got a kit with a decent 454 in it that I can use as a basic block; now if I can just find some "572" valve covers....

Rob:

How about a pick-up that you don't see everyday.

Plenty of room for surfboards, has good traction in the sand....

Gorgeous!

IIRC, GM had a factory color close to that in '69.

What's next?

You gonna pick up one of the '72 "Beverly Hills Cop" Novas?

"At least they had imagination back then. And sometimes a corporation was willing to take risks.
OK - Pontiac Aztec - bad idea."

A friend of mine first saw the new "Aztec" as he was driving by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. The one he saw was yellow in color. He though it was something that had gotten loose from the hangar where Wright-Patterson supposedly keeps captured UFOs.... ;-)
