Default Just bought a 72 Nova!!

I had my SS hood and spoiler installed and painted the other day! Looks awesome (I'll have pics shortly). Well I bought a '72 Nova from the guy also for $5300. 1972 2-dr, gold w/ black vinyl top, bench seat, perfect shape inside, great outside, 98,xxx original miles and its turboed!! It's bad-***! 10 yrs ago a guy bought it from the original owner @ 68K and took it to Turbo Technologies. It has a pt-63 (I believe), 350 w/ forged pistons, side ground rods, steel crank, Holley 750 dbl pmpr, but no i/c. It needs new rings but drives great. When it was dynoed it put down 462rwhp @18psi and ran an 11.6 @126. George Scott says w/ an i/c he guarentees 10's. I'm gonna fix the rings and drive it for the winter then sell it for like $8K to get my LS1 Motorsports turbo kit!
