Modelled on the real ride of LUGNUtter rabidnovaracer, the car is the 1968 Chevrolet Nova Coupe.
Tim has had his car painted in period style stripes. Apparently they are Baldwin Motion inspired.
The Nova was one of the 1960's GM experiments in 'compact' cars. Never as successful as the Ford Falcon/Mustang twins, GM did not recover from their Corvair sxperiment until the 1970s. Ford offered them the same market failure opportunity with their equally-unfairly tainted Pinto.
Although bread as efficient compact cars, vehicles from this period somehow still seemed to manage to be fitted with some rather large V8 engines. Low weight and V8, however, equals maximum performance. The performance tended to be one dimensional only,tending to be very quick in a straight line but missing the finesse required to tackle racecourses.
Nice Nova, Tim. I hope you like the model.
