Could this Nova on Craigslist be a Supercar?

Possible Jason, you never knew who may have made a transplant to a 427.. But I guess without some type of docs it would be hard to establish...

I have somewhere (spent an hour looking) an old used car section from our local milwaukee newspaper from 1970. I remember distinctly a private ad for a 1969 nova and the description read dealer installed 427. I will have to rack my brain as to where that page is. There were many cool ads on that page or two. An old customer of mine was using it as basement shelf liner when I spotted it.

I think there may be a few Novas that left the dealer new with dealer installed 427s other than Yenko. We have one in our shop now sold new from Anderson Chev, in Atlanta sold that way. Novas with aluminum heads also fall into that category. They become urban legends as "factory 427s" or factory L89s.

The Alabama deuce we have in process had a 427 emblem on the frt fender. The husband was deceased and his wife swore it was a factory 427 until we ran the nbr that showed it was the original L78.

Every car has a story. Finding the truth is the problem.

Steering wheel horn cap looks interesting...appears to be a Cragar wheel cap...?

An NCRS report w/ performance dealer result could help.
Whether story true or not, substantiation is where the $ are at!

Dale Chevrolet in Waukesha did &quot;Dale Duster&quot; 427 conversions back in the day. A red '68 Chevy II survives [originally Ash Gold] and there is supposed to be a white '69 Nova around.
