Local guy had a 1969 L78 4 spd Nova with dealer installed 4.88 and headers. Drove it year round as it was his only car. Or like Doug on here did. He's local to me too. Traded in a 427/435 Vette for a COPO Chevelle, drove for a few years and pulled the L72 and put in a 350 and sold it as just a 1969 Chevelle.
I know of a guy who actually had a "winter Vette" for driving in winter and other bad weather in SW Ontario. It was a 1965 396/425 4 spd with sidepipes. did it for over 10 years mid 80's to mid 90's.
