Check for F41 sway bar hangers welded to the bottom side. And pics of them, and other shots would be appreciated. Might help you identify what it was , and how it was equipped. Also as was stated above, the code on the rear axle tube is a big deal if it's the correct one.

Good luck.

Yes, it is automatic. I'm going to start a new thread about the story of this car soon; and with the help of Marlin, Schonye and Vince, I'm in the process of compiling information/documentation/history now... All of it's life has been accounted for, except for a space of time between June 1970 - spring 1973...

I haven't seen a 70 nova "build sheet" I am curious as to how the build sheet would call out the different wheels? And paint color indications for the different wheels?

Have you created a new thread yet about this car? Did I miss it?

I didn't create a new thread yet because I'm still trying to gather information about it. The guy I bought it from is elderly, and doesn't have a phone or email. I think he checks his mailbox twice a year, and lives twenty hours away.
This car has only had (about) four owners (including me), has not been titled or driven by three of them. Then it was cut up into a racecar when it was three years old (but never raced) and ended up sitting in indoor and outdoor storage for the next 41 years.
So as a result, information on this car may only be gleaned from one or more of the previous three owners or their families, or maybe by someone who has seen this car burning up the streets or 1/4 mile racetracks of Pennsylvania or Michigan sometime between 1970 and 1973....
