1970 L78 Nova

[Stefano]

1970 L78 M21, 3.55, AM/FM, body side mouldings and Window trim, Fathom Blue w/Black Bench, sport wheels with polyglass'

This car appears to have all the original born with drivetrain. All the components like alt, dist carb ect are original non restamped date coded correct parts. The car has been driven only 3,000 miles since 1988 and kept in a climate controlled environment.

No smog, has headman headers with corvair turbo
mufflers and hurst super comp shifter.

The car has no apparent body damage or panel replacement.

It is documented with vintage pictures, original protecto plate and warranty book as well as chain of ownership.

The car looks great and runs even better http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

It is getting very difficult to find original drivetrain
/sheet metal/documented cars.

$65,000.00/trades, no e-pals, only qualified principals need inquire.

No pics untill the weekend.

Didn't notice before, but that is one of the latest engine dates I have ever seen for an L78. The latest one in my barn is 7/2....Not sure when the production ended for 70 L78 Novas but it couldn't have been much later???

Stef....nice car!

Paul....that '62 Poncho post car sounds like a wicked piece....any pics to share?

~ Pete

[Stefano]

Interesting collection. I may consider a trade.

[Belair62]

We need to see the GP too... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[Paul D]

Pete.... yes, the Poncho is very cool. It's out at my warehouse so I won't be able to take pics until after B-J.

It was a race car almost from day one, probably a dealer prepared "Super Duty"....run in the mid sixties in the Chicago area under the name "Two Ton Faker". It was then bought from the original owner and restored to perfection by a collector in Ohio. He ran it in Nostalgia Super Stock for a few years. It currently has a new 438ci with dual fours on an ...859 intake. I love those "post" cars.
Paul

[Belair62]

What dealer was it from ??Original owners name ??? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[Stefano]

I'll be at B/J Thursday-Sunday.

[Paul D]

Belair.... The guy I bought it from hasn't given that info yet...he said most of the loose parts were wrapped in newspaper dated in 1968, 1969, apparently when it was put in a garage.
Paul

[Paul D]

Stefano... you can reach me on 512-633-1105 at B-J (or anytime).

[deuce-less]

how many miles on the nova and are there any undercarraige shots?

thx, alan http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Stefano]

I'll have to double check. It is something like 108,000 miles. We just had new original style rear leafs and an original and detailed rear sway bar put on the car.

The underside is very clean. I'll get some pics soon.

Why the increase? Is that how it works, if it doesn't sell at the first asking price, raise it??? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[deuce-less]

it sounds like additional work and or parts have been installed on the nova, therefore a new list price. jmo

alan http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[deuce-less]

Thx Stefano , I ended up picking up a 1969 cdn documented L78 , 4 sp , Nova and it should be arriving in a few weeks. original rally green car, is now white. l78 is long gone and the car currently has a 68 427 in it , but it looks pretty good. Thx again Bob

[Stefano]

Also included with the car are a correct date coded set of 4 SS wheels (current are Repro), an original shifter, and correct fan Blade.

The L78 will be on display in the Members rides/ sYc display at the Spring Chevy Vette Fest.

[Stefano]

Rear; see pic on previous page; BT 0618G1 is original 3.55 posi.

Carb is 3967477 GG 4557 012 date 1970 January 2

Water Pump part #3969811 date C 28 0 March 28th 1970

Alternator is 1100837 date is march 2 1970

Dist has original purple inspection mark looks like 9L2 1969 November 2nd.

Trans has Vin and M21 code.

I was wrong about the fan blade it is still not correct, anyone have one available for sale?

No restamped Parts or Drivetrain!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Is there a 'C' on that rear tube just before the 'BT'? The 'C' is usually off to the left, apparently was stamped separately due to the '69 gang holder not having room for the extra letter!

[SOM2001SS]

I wish I had about $60K more dollars...sure would look good next to my fathom blue Chevelle http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

Nothing about Novas gets by Marlin. I must have had '69s on the brain when I cropped the picture, but the rear does have the C stamped before the BT and the letter is not in gang form and more consistent with the date code stampings.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Nice! That's a '70 thing, and the 'C' is always outside the normal gang holder area, and usually crooked - different depth - and in a different location vertically. I'm not sure if the '71+ Novas have a three letter code, I think they may have gone back to the two letter version.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Cool, that's a late car!

[70 Forest Green Zee]

That's a beautiful car Steve, I've drooled all over it many times. I can't for the life of me understand why this car hasn't sold. Who ever buys this car is going to have one fine ride. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Stefano]

Nickey did sell the car to Brad, who now has it on consignment with us. I know he has his eye on another special car.

Does anyone know of a later L78?

[WILMASBOYL78]

Steve, in all my L78 travels that is latest date I have seen...latest we have is 1st week of July/70...I'll bet that car was born with one of those high priced dual-snorkle air cleaners http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif ....let's see now, how about I trade ya 2 837's for that fancy air cleaner?.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

good luck with the car..wilma
