Many yrs ago this Nova was advertised in Nova Times for 25K. It was located in Buffalo and had a Cliff Peck sticker in the pass rear window next to the Nickey sticker. It also had small Nickey stickers on the hood & deck lid. I have a pic of the window sticker, from when I looked at it, & it was white(same vin#). The seller caimed it to be 1 of 56 built and it was discused on this forum a while back. It did not have an L79 ZI block back then.
It's not unusual for us to see cars to morph into 'the real deal' if it's promoted in the right venue
