kwhizz has left the building..

I think this car has been discussed before...the ad doesn't show any of the "so called documents"...there are a number of technical issues evident in the photos. When you sell a car for that kind of money it should have all the details correct.

I'll let Tibor handle it from there.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

So another one appears to match the black one. I know never to say never but open chamber heads on a closed motor? (I don't see a plug). Doesn't make sense. And I know there is a poster here that did the ordering for Scuncio, and he stated that he tried to order aluminum head novas (in 70) and GM said no-go. I don't know for sure, but there doesn't seem to be much history (in today's communication world) with these cars. Just figured somebody would know more....

Re: 1970 NOVA L89 ?
 

This a numbers matching car, and documented with paperwork.... none shown.
My car has a stamping suffix of CKU, aluminum heads, heavy duty clutch... not shown
hmmm I'm feeling like a Mushroom... kept in the dark and fed crap.

Yea right, the brown cap story, that is when I had to walk away. The best part of that show was the Grady Nova kickin' that thing to the curb...made my day. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Now, no more about L89 Nova's [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/sleep.gif[/img]

Re: 1970 NOVA L89 ?
 

This car came out of Florida a couple of years ago with real bad body panel alignment back then. I am sure it is just as real as the black one.

Must have been assembled at the Norwood plant, cause I haven't seen the P B T stamps outside of Norwood! Lol

Re: 1970 NOVA L89 ?
 

PTB inspection stamps were never use on a Nova, and no it was not built at Norwood. Nova guys correct me here, wasn't Willow Run the only Nova Plant in 69 ?
A few years ago I saw a nice Silver, red gut, 69 Chevelle at GM Carlisle with PTB stamps. Hell why not... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Re: 1970 NOVA L89 ?
 

Yes, Mike...Willow Run was the only production facility for the Nova in 1969...in later years(after 1971) there were a number of other GM plants that got in the act.

****Norwood did produce a few Novas for a brief time in 1972...doubt they used PBT stamps [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I've got to look when I get home, but I still have a trim tag from one of my wrecked 66 Novas and I swear it has an &quot;N&quot; instead of a &quot;W&quot; (I know we're talking later than 66 here)...

Re: 1970 NOVA L89 ?
 

From 63 through 66 they were built at Norwood, and several other plants, Oshawa, and Willow Run for sure. It's all here year by year, thanks to Gregg Roberts. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Nova research

Re: 1970 NOVA L89 ?
 

I didn't think about the older cars, because we were focusing on the 69 model...you can always count on Greg for all the details.
