There's Novas and then there's, well, Novas.

Meet Snortin' Nortin, a 1971 Nova that has "a long history of competition in some of the most prestigious off-road races in the world." (Source: GMAuthority.com)

A fan favorite, throughout the ‘80s the Snortin’ Nortin Chevy Nova ran in the Mint 400, Parker 400, and Baja 1000, "proving the unusual off-roader’s competition worthiness and durability."

Notorious off-roader Rick “Hurricane” Johnson restored the Chevy for a run in the NORRA Mexican 1000 in 2011. It took the win in the Vintage Class.

You can find your next Baja 1000 project right here on RYNO.co. Anybody up for creating a Son of Snortin' Nortin?
