Cheap '69 L-78 Nova, Build Sheet
 

A little rough but an original Butternut Yellow L78 with some good options, 4-speed, and an original build sheet. The L78 mill is long gone.

Look like it was optioned up pretty well, don't know why somebody threw mono leafs on it though.? that rear would wind up like a coo coo clock

Was the hood replaced on this car, no SS hood louvers..

And they aired down the rear tires for better traction.

I had to chuckle when I read "it started right up, but it is not the original big block". Ummm, it isn't a BB at all...:wink:
Honestly, though, we have seen far worse for far more money. Other than the engine, it seems to be a complete car.
I think Derek should buy it, have the L78 Nova engine he has repaired/rebuilt and drop it in here. It could be a winter club project for the Chevelle members to go down and help him and Cale get this safely running and driving over the winter and have a matched pair of "Barn Finds" along with his '69 Z/28..:biggthumpup:

Fenders changed too as it does not have the correct 396 parking light arrangement.

Nor the bumper or the grill (non SS). Somebody probably put a non SS 70 nose on it after an accident.

That's pretty tempting. 11A build date isn't too far off from my 9/20 dated L78 engine either. I need to avoid buying more projects though. Cale's car needs to be painted before he graduates.

Just buy another 40' container and hold onto it. :wink:

What I was thinking too, might be when the color change happened.
