Congrats on your find! There were 3765 RPO-L78 Novas built for the 1970 model year. This is last year for the big block Nova. I don't have a breakdown bwtween 4spd. and auto but it's fair to say there were certainly many more 4spd cars produced. If you check your paperwork you will probably find the car came with a 3:55 Posi rear, your current gears were not available in that car from the factory. I have a matching # 70 L78 auto car myself. Black with black bench seat and no frills. These cars are a hoot to drive and really run well with that h.d. turbo 400. I sent you a PM with some more info. Good luck.

Tom, i mean no disrespect,but this car absolutly came with the 410 gears! it says it on the factory order form. the guy walked in to reedman with his best friend,who i bought the car from.[the original owner is deceased] and ordered this car with a bench seat![to sit next to his girlfriend] am radio,ps,deluxe int,rear defroster,door edge guards and some more options! i'll share the paperwork with you in the future. i have to leave for the eagles game now,talk to you later...don

I really don't care who wins the game. Just glad to see another L78 car come out of hiding. TW

GO TEAM NOVA!!

I have to second that notion! Its not often that the Panthers get to the playoffs. They just might prevail!!

Us Southern boys usually cheer for college basketball. Teams like UNC (Tarheals), Duke (Blue Devils), UNCS (Wolfpack), and Wake Forest (Demon Decons) predominate in the 'sweet 16' leading up to the final four.

In any case, the best team will win on this given day. Next week, any other team could win. It just depends on whos' pumped-up for the contest.
