What can I look for to help a friend ID his 69 Nova. It is supposedly a 396 column shift auto. It has a black interior with bench seat. The engine and trans are gone, but it does have a 12 bolt. It had power brakes, I believe they were drum but not sure. It does have all the SS emblems, which I know really doesn't mean anything. The cowl tag is off the car, but he does have it. I can get more pictures if it would help. I believe these cars are like 68 Camaro's in that if you do not have paperwork or engine\trans they can't be verified...correct?
