I wonder what kind of factory brake proportioning valve that is? I have never seen a factory 396 Nova with A/C ever and to think they dropped Bill Thomas's name with a 396/350hp.

Would GM not use a big block a/c suitcase on the Nova as they did the 68 and 69 big block Camaro with factory air? I have never seen a factory air big block 69 Nova either.

I have never seen a factory air big block 69 Nova either.

Thats because GM didnt build one. Did they? My memory is foggy.:hmmm:

Looks like it has the wrong Chrome trim rings,as opposed to the more correct natural stainless.
Reminds me of someone who just over whitened their own teeth @ home.

4:10 gears from the Factory with A/C ??? I don't even remember any Corvettes with 350, 365, 390, or 400 Horsepower with Factory A/c and 4:10 gears. I remember seeing a documented 1966 Black / Black Factory A/C SS- L-79 Nova though at a Nova Nationals? show a long time ago, but I think it had 3:31 gears in it if I remember correctly. I think it was a Give -A- Way Car in it's past life? Get some popcorn, have a seat, & Let the memories begin! What a GREAT site!

And while we're at it, why do people simply go and overdue all that crayon smack on a restored car? Ugggh!

"Counsole" floor (not capital m)mounted shift?? And, JH sticker on the front of the Lh valve cover on the engine? This tells me a lot about the build-bogus! Pretty car, but egregious errors would set off the " tear it up one side, down the other", looking for more serious problems with the quality of the build, meter in me.

Yes Fake Car, car is 20 min from me and the guy who had the car made/restored to what is does this to every car he owns!! He had a Fake "Nickey Nova" and Fake "COPO Camaro" before this car. All are beautiful, but fake!
