1969 Nova L78

Have no idea as to the car's authenticity but the window sticker is a reproduction claiming to be an original:

On the option codes there are letters that follow the RPO:

G80LA
L78AA
M22AA

What do those letters mean?

Didn’t see price?

ECL Exception Control Letters. ECL codes are determined by the other options or family of options installed in the car. For G80 the ECL code will determine the axle ratio. For M20 and any other transmission the ECL codes may tell you what engine combination you have. Power steering N40 will change based on engine codes, number of pulleys, etc. There are various groups researching the ECL codes for particular models but there are so many triggering factors it's almost impossible. On a good note those researchers will not release the information on ECL's as this is one sure way to determine reproductions. There are a multitude of explanations and opinions on ECL codes if you google, some correct some just guesses. To my knowledge, there has been one book published that explains the ECL codes for C2 corvettes by Nolan Adams.

The master cylinder and air cleaner are not orginal pieces, from the factory. BBBenny

Pretty sure you can't get special inst (tach) with a bench seat in a 69 nova. That would also be a dead giveaway on the window sticker

Gauges were only available with console option...and for that you needed bucket seats. As for the 11 second grocery trip...well :confused2:
