Beautiful car!! Here are a couple picks of Mr. Nickey Nova's car which looks to be a twin to this car except it's an L34 instead of an L78. An original paint L34 survivor

A real beauty. My 72 Nova SS is a little lighter blue than this car.

There seems to be a lot of blue l78 cars. This was my 1970 L78 automatic it was all original drivetrain.

That was one of those Trading Times finds from back in the day around early 80s I bought it from the original owner in Spring Grove . It sat around for a few years and I sold it to Randy Miller from around the Atlanta area. The car ended being bought by Jude Heddick and was sold to someone else on this board who restored it and had it for sale here I can not remember who that was Yes it was ruff but had all original drivetrain
