Hi guys, I joined this forum to help out an old friend with a 69 427 Nova. This was my car originally, purchased in 75 in Witchita Falls Texas while in jet fighter school. I sold it in 85 (after I pulled the engine)and when my friend retired from the military and came home, he stumbled across the car. I never thought it was a special car but recently he talked to some guy from the fall Carlisle show and within a week some guy showed up to look at it and asked all kinds of questions about the cars history, then made him a very generous offer. I found limited info about these cars on line and came here to see if the VIN or build sheet would help ID the car as he has both. When I bought it , it had a CE numbered 427. It was a 4-speed car. Snowflake intake and a great big three barrel Holley carb. Had a Mallory dual point distributor. Had a steel scattershield, factory bench seat but someone had changed it out for buckets. Had an L-88 fiberglass hood, 12 bolt, electric fuel pump, I was thinking it had two but one was bad when I bought it and I put on a Holley. Had the small block heater cover. It was 6 years old when I got it so who knows what it was to begin with. It had power discs and manual steering I do remember that too. I have a couple pics of it right after I bought it. It had no special markings or emblems other than the SS emblems. My friend does not have a computer so he asked me to research this for him. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave

If you have pictures of the car, I would post them. Possibly, someone here may have owned it before you and can provide some history about the car.

Any idea what dealer it was sold new out of ?

No, I bought it from an individual in Texas. Never asked where he got it from.

I will do that tomorrow evening. Thanks for the reply.

What does the buildsheet say? That should tell you the dealer and engine and anything you need to know. Please post pic of buildsheet and car. Roger

Nova's rarely have a formal buildsheet as seen in Chevelle's and LA Camaro's, however, they do contain a broadcast sheet in the passenger side rear seats. In '69 the Nova's still had the engine code on the broadcast sheet - usually, if it was a BB, then the code is almost always there. So, try to find the broadcast sheet, it's rather small, maybe 5" by 8", and full of numbers that don't appear to mean anything. If you find it, we'll decode it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Here is a picture of the build sheet if I can figure out how to send it.

It's very readable and clear to me.

It looks like:
B55-Deluxe frt. seat cushion
B90-Door & window frame moulding
D34-Visor Vanity Mirror
L48-350 small block engine
N10-Dual Exhaust
ZJ1-Custom Interior
ZJ2-Custom exterior
Code 61 Burnished Brown
Code 732 Black Custom Vinyl Bench seat
Built March 28 1969
