Another '70 Nova SS 396 at auction, but strange...
All that talk about the '70 Nova SS L78 / L89 car going to the Russo & Steele auction got me curious about the cars there, so I went on to their website to look at what else was available - naturally, I scoped out the Novas first!
I saw a really cool looking citrus green '70 on there, and then also saw another one that kinda jogged my memory a bit. It is linked below. http://www.russoandsteele.com/collec.../42-6149.html# From the pictures, it looks just like a Nova that was talked about a couple of years ago, except this one claims to have a loaded up interior with buckets seats and a console and more. Here's the car I remembered from a few years ago. http://www.angelfire.com/ut2/dpmusclecars/70novass.html I'm confused... am I seeing the same car here? The exterior pictures look identical, including the background, but the car is described as being equipped differently. I'm too young to be senile. Anyone else remember it?

Not the same car...I know the owner of the car going through Russo and Steele. The pics on the website are being used to show what the car is going to look like...the Nova is just finishing up it's restoration.
I hope that this clears things up a bit.

Should they use someone else's pictures like that?

The car being sold on the Russo and Steele site was on ebay several years back and has Canadian documentation. It was a complete car with a CE block. Just needed quarters/fenders and to freshen everything up.
It did have body side molding vs rocker as shown in the site. This car was also listed for sale on the Desert Autosport site earlier this year. Funny it had pictures of a silver Nova in the ad along with the green pictures. Greg

[/ QUOTE ] Evidently, it's not uncommon. 3 years ago there was a black 69 Chevelle SS396 convertible that was being auctioned at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale. In both their printed catalog and on their website they had pictures of my car. I know it was my car because my house was in the background of the picture! I went to the auction and hunted up the seller; told him about it and he said those were the pictures that he was sent when he was buying the car the previous year! So evidently, once a picture of your car appears online somewhere, you should not be surprised to see it used anywhere

They probably shouldn't have used that one. It was a hot topic several years ago due to being advertised with the original born-with engine when the real born-with engine is alive and well in another Nova.
