I sold my Nomad to a buddy that is in the business… and he's taking it to BJ -- along with probably 25+ other cars. This is A LOT OLDER restoration -- but I put good parts on it and had a lot of fun with it over the 14 years I had it. I think I put 5 motors in = 3+ transmissions - couple different brake systems - tubular A arms etc - which then made me realize how nice they "can" drive --- so stuck a Jim Meyer chassis under it (Art wasn't making them at the time!). Art M was bending the rails for chassis for Jim… and he was the one that actually sent me to Jim Meyer. It was Jim Meyer or the stock/corvette conversion from Paul Newman..

My choice was to completely re-do the car - top to bottom - or move on to something different. I think in your mind once you're done - you're done. I loaned the car to my brother in law and he drove it the last couple of years… so that kind of tells ya where I was at on it.

It has - by far - the best motor I've ever owned. It's the perfect street beast… big torque in the bottom right off idle -- but is a window rattler and set off alarms in parking lots. I love that!

I figure the car will sell for about a 1/3rd what I put into it over the years. LOL


And NO! Those are not my wheels and tires...
