This '69 COPO Nova was bought new by Larry Owens of Owens Automotive in Dallas, TX.  Original 4 speed and 396, it has never seen the street!  Drag raced since new and always with a Wayne Calvert engine.

Said Jim, "From the old days of muscle madness, running four abreast for B/Stock wins at Green Valley Raceway, through factory production, Super Stock match racing, Modified Production, and multiple Pro Stock wins to today's current foot brake and stock eliminator demands of dependability and consistency. For every track and national record on land or water for 38 years, I've depended on just any old machine shop I could find to save me a few bucks. WRONG!!! Only Wayne Calvert Precision Engines for information and precise machine work. My sincerest thanks

to Wayne, Jerry, Tom, and Randy at WCPE. As a testament to WCPE Preparation, the 396 massaged by Wayne himself in the mid sixties that propelled me to my first two national records, still sits in the corner waiting for its next assignment".
