L89 Nova

[Schonyenko2]

No midnight blue metallic in 69 on a Nova. Check the trim tag again please.

So Pete would that be a BW stamp? 68 Nova would have been RPO. 69 Camaro would have been RPO I believe. Must have been a performance dealer to have the know how to get it in a Nova.

There was a dark blue. Perhaps that's what he means?

With Steve in charge.........I'm sure that protecting the Pedigree of Rare cars is back in vogue............That's what this site is and should be about.........."AND"........If there is any questions about L-89 cars in the future.........Check the color of the distributor cap.......We got it from the source (the owner at the time of the 1 of 1 L-89 Black Nova) that "ALL" L-89 's had Tan Caps..............Just passing along information collected along the way.....

Possibly, but guess I'd think that with a "possible" L89 Nova, you would try to be dead on with the info. A generic color without trim tag code seems to not bode well for credibility on further items that may reflect on the cars pedigree.

the 69 L78 Nova I sold 4-5 years ago had a BW stamped rear, COPO or RPO.? who knows for sure. All the original guts from the rear where changed out. I have pics of the tube stamp some where. Think I may have posted them here somewhere.?

Dusk Blue, black vinyl top, 731 plain jane interior [rubber floor mat car], A-3, black interior trim with 3 exterior trim options, 1st week of July, 3/8 fuel line and correct looking tank sender/line, BB heater core, BB radiator. Hard to tell much else from the photos..

Is that one picture a date stamp on an aluminum head..??

Lets clean off the snow and jump in for better pics and more details...

Hell, it's winter...what else do we have to do

Not to cloud this thread, but could you possibly pm a link to the silver Nova? I'm curious if it's the one I ran around with in the 80's in the Cincinnati area.
Thanks

I believe there have been 2 different "L89" Novas that have made the rounds in the car world...they were both 1970 model year....one was black [which I have seen] and the other was silver. Here are some links to various articles and for sale ads I found...I'm sure there are more out there if you are bored and want something to do.

If you have an L89 Nova and want to have it 'verified' and 'authenticated' please contact Ken Tibor [kwhizz] he is the leading authority on these cars and his personal knowledge is second to none
