Re: Jeff-San's Awesome 1969 L78 Nova!
 

Whttps://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gifW is right!!! Just a few weeks ago I asked if Burnished Brown was available on a Nova because I had never seen one. And I swear that last night I walked out the back door with my dog and looked up at the sky. The moon was at 'half' and, being car minded, all I could see was 'Half Moon Bay'! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Super find! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Glad you snapped it up. And YES, PLEASE strongly consider bringing it to VetteFest this Fall! More than WORTHY. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

CONGRATS!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words about my new toy. I would love to bring it to the Fall show but transport there, storage and finding transport back might be a little tough for me now. I saw an online flyer for the NNN West Coast Mini Nats in Pleasanton Aug 30-31st that may be a little closer to reality for now.

As nice as the Nova is, I have alot of work to do before I'd consider putting it within 100 feet of the club cars I've seen. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!

thanks again and I'll work hard to clean her up for a few shows. Alot can happen between now and then. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif

Jeff,
The logistics are understandable but I think you're drastically underestimatng how this car would be accepted. Survivor status cars are getting much more attention and respect every day.
It's a great example just as it sits! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

All I can say is "The Nova Gods have blessed you". Great car.

Re: Jeff-San's Awesome 1969 L78 Nova!
 

That is the RIGHT car for the Fall Vette-Fest show. We would love to see it there....BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Wow, stock Nova's are rare and this one sweet machine!

Re: Jeff-San's Awesome 1969 L78 Nova!
 

Jeff made a great find with this time capsule...the little details like the kickdown switch and idle solenoid are very unique...these cars very seldom make it this many years without a lot of changes. The car is also equipped pretty nicely for an L78....my guess on the wheels is it was a steel wheel car and someone upgraded to the SS magnums...but you never know...looking forward to seeing it in person someday...congratualtions https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Beautiful Find Jeff ,....Congrats!! What a car, as previously stated it's a time capsule!!!

Re: Jeff-San's Awesome 1969 L78 Nova!
 

Jeff, thanks so much for sharing your wonderful unrestored L78 with us. Also, thanks for being so patient (and understanding) with me...wanting to share it in the Members Rides section.

A Nova was my first car...and they are still one of my favorite Chevies!

Awesome car...'nuff said! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Jeff, Hows the nova doing? Any new pictures or news on your car? Have you been driving it? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Sam
