Default L78 Question

I am new to this forum so I will wade in and make rookie mistakes.
My question: Was the the L78 engine available in 69, in a Nova without it being a COPO?
I will shut up and listen now. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

The L78 engine was a regular production option (RPO) that required SS equipment for 1968, 1969, 1970. No COPO necessary.

The answer is Yes.. L78 was available in the Nova from 68-70 as a RPO.

Look at that William.. we posted the same thing at the same time.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

Mike2.. you might want to fill out your profile information or the SYC Police will hunt you down and do a cavity search to make sure you're not hiding a set of Ford keys... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Please send the police, they will be pleased to see a beautiful Grabber Blue Boss 429 sitting alongside a beatiful Fathom Green COPO Camaro which is sitting beside a Garnet Red ZL-1, #64, which is beside an ugly army green Hemi Road Runner. They would bust us bad I guess.(without a cavity search)
Yep we have Ford keys, and Mopar keys.
Need a project, we could probably get you fixed up. We got lots of keys.

Seriously Mike2, you'll find lots of help around here, but, the best will come when we know who we're talking to. We recently had a guy jerk us around by pretending to have about a 20 million dollar collection of cars. We didn't find out for a while that they were scale models. Mike1

I appreciate the help.
A little about myself here and I will fill out the questionaire so all can see if they want.
I live in Marietta,GA, 55 years old and originally from Dallas, TX. I am a contractor and do remodeling in the ever growing Atlanta market.
My best friend and also a client collects muscle cars. I work for him as contractor and also as a part of team that buys, maintains and shows the cars.
My son is also involved in the cars as much as he can be as a student at Auburn University.
I do have a deep and abiding love of muscle cars, not all cars and have since I was introduced to Carroll Shelby when a young and impressionable boy. My Uncle was Ms. Shelby's (Carroll's mother)doctor.
I am fortunant in that my friend and boss has included me in his passion for muscle cars.
I apologize for any posts that might have put up red flags. I do understand the intimacy that this niche' has in the car industry and respect it.
I may have been somewhat direct in my reply but no malice was meant. I am quite a teddy bear.
My initial question was a serious one. I do find it interesting that new facts come out every year about this industry that hitherto had been unknown. I would never claim knowledge that would refute someone else's opinion in a condesending way. Rather, ask questions to give rise to others opinions or facts.
By the way, I would never want to sound as a bragert, but I am sensitive to the option of cavity searches, "We do have a few keys(other than COPO) and the cars to go with them." [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

ZL1 # 64 on copo.coms list of ZL1's is Orange... All the more reason to fill out your Profile... Maybe # 62 ?

Sorry for the mix up. He forgot to mention that the Zl-1 is not a 69, it is an 02.
