Don Fardie's '67 Chevy Is One Wicked Shaker

For Don Fardie of Lakeville, Massachusetts, growing up in nearby Hanson, some of his earliest automotive memories revolve around helping his grandfather deliver eggs to Boston every Saturday as a time where he would be able to ride in one of his cool Nova wagons. At the same time he was at the kitchen table building kit models to his own specs, which included radiusing rear wheel wells and adding big-inch V-8s to make them custom.

It was his older brother, Ken, who he credits to finally lighting the fuse, getting him involved in hopped-up cars by letting him hang around while he worked on them in the family driveway. As time passed he got to experience the scent of nitro at New England Dragway as well as cruising Main Street in Brockton while watching late-night street racing. By the time he earned his license he bought his first car, a ’57 Chevy wagon followed by a ’67 GTO and ’67 GMC pickup. Somehow, though, he always remembered back to his years growing up and being fascinated by early Novas, with the ’67 model being his favorite, all-time street car. He then made the decision to start looking for a suitable car to build.
