Wow! And, it's an F41 car too! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] I'm thinking there must have been a 2nd sheet to that window sticker.

Something I just noticed on the sales invoice: <span style="font-style: italic">&quot;SOLD AS IS&quot;</span>.

Were Cheverolet dealers allowed to sell a new car without the original factory warranty back then? I know lots of Mopar dealers refused to honor warranties on hemi cars if you bought a four speed.

Hi Steve, the sold as is , is scribbled over. That was Reedman's universal deal sheet. Same one that my parents signed when they bought an 80 Rally Sport. H. Reedman's JR. Or Harold was the same sales person.

Most car dealerships had one buyer's order for new and used vehicles. Obviously the new cars and trucks came with the manufacturer's warranty...the dealer could not take that away. It was very common before the advent of consumer laws that used vehicles were sold as is. It is still a fact even today...laws vary by the state. There is a federal FTC requirement that all used vehicles have a &quot;Buyer's Guide&quot; displayed on the window...this form clearly outlines the warranty coverage that comes with the used vehicle.

The penalties are substantial if the feds get aggressive...each year there are dealers who receive stiff fines for failing to comply.

As for this Nova...I'm sure the factory warranty was put to the test early on given the performance package under the hood [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Sammy...I can always count on you to make me feel loved [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Actually, I cut my teeth on selling printing and business forms supplies to auto dealers...been involved with that arena for over 30 years. Guess I learned a few things along the way.

I am glad you feel the &quot;love&quot; in this frigid weather Tommy.
Learning is one thing.....remembering is the other.
Keep up the good work, you may turn out alright someday!

Unlikely.

Hopefully someone will &quot;feel the love&quot; for this neat old Nova [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
As you all know, we've had quite a few in the stable over the last 15 years...this was one of the best running of all the cars [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I'm sure it will find a good home [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]
