Nova SS 396 sells for 250,000

Regardless of brand, you have to respect reality. That Nova would walk all over a Duster or Demon. That is not taking anything away from Mopar. Just giving credit where it’s due. Just like the fact that the Duster / Demon are copies of the Nova styling cues. They had a good thing. Obviously the designers liked it too.

I agree 100%. The 340 A bodies were serious contenders. People often mistake the big HP big block Chevys for their more docile 350, 325, or 300 HP counterparts. The 375 version had huge rectangle port heads, .520 lift solid lifter cam, aluminum intake, Holley 780 and big flowing HP manifolds. Not to mention 11.25:1 compression and 375HP and 410TQ. I'd even spot a 340 A body a full length in the 1/4 and I promise you in my racing prime, I wouldda reeled him in.
