cool. The codes you posted are Baldwin Chevrolet. Did they identify the dealer name in the letter or just give you the codes?

This is a surprise to me.

Kelly Sales Co
340 S. Madison
Greenwood, IN 4614X
Dealer code 291 Zone 25

The building still stands and is currently Kenny's Transmission of Greenwood.

Oh, and the Chevelle's production date was July 31, 1969.

Bruce has done some cool research for me. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Just got my paperwork yesterday for my 1969 L78 Nova.

Car is an 06A build date and was GM official production date is 6/10/69. Original delivery dealer was Dealer Code 447 in Zone 44 which lists name and location of dealer as:

Les Stanford Chevrolet
Dearborn, MI

We knew the car came out of Michigan and was drag raced early in its life at Milan Dragway. Does anyone remember either my Dover White '69 Nova or Les Stanford Chevrolet?

Thanks,

Paul

Just Googled and found that Les Stanford Chevrolet is still going strong as a Chevy &amp; Cadillac dealer. I emailed them through their website requesting whether they had any original paperwork in their archives that they could provide to me.

Any other suggestions on how to best find documentation on my Nova?

I have two buildsheets already, but I would love to have some original dealer paperwork such as sales order form, etc.

I guess I am encouraged that the dealer is still around.

Regarding Les Stanford Chevrolet. I picked this 1969 Nova up a few years ago from this site. It was sold from Les Stanford Chevrolet and I just sent out for the NCRS documents to confirm it. It has been a race car since the 70s and still looks the exact same today. I put in a link below to what it looked like back in the day. I'm not sure what drag strip it was.

I owned a Fathom Blue LS6 Chevelle years ago that was sold at Les Stanford. I called but didn't get any where. Maybe I didn't try hard enough. Bench seat,M40, Blue cloth interior, 4.10's. No gauges, No Cowl Ind, No Stripes. Just a plain wrapper. Oh, It did have a trailer hitch... Troy

Just got my three in the mail yesterday. I knew where my 67 and 69 came from, no surprise there. My 70Z project came with a CE block and a replacement POP from Theigs-Essler motors. The NCRS paperwork shows Arnold Chevrolet in Watkins Minnesota. A google search shows it is still in business today! What are the odds that they have any old docs? Does anyone here have any info on Arnold Chevrolet? Thanks Roy for giving us some detective work to do!
