Re: 69 Nova 427
If this car was the real deal how did it get by everyone? Even if it was not a dealer built 427 car it seems like it was still a decent buy for what was probebly an L78 car.

Re: 69 Nova 427
I did some digging on that car a couple of years ago. Owner at that time said it was an owner installed motor.

Re: 69 Nova 427
If a Nova of that period had a 427 installed as a customer requested conversion, is it really considered a "supercar" ?
I have heard of lots of cars that had dealer engine swaps a year or two down the road, is that something special?? Dealer built cars that were sold new are a little diff story. Back then, anybody could put anything in any car. All it took was $$$$. wilma

Re: 69 Nova 427
That's a good question Tom, and one that has been batted around before. One scenario used for comparison was how is a Motion later converted car perceived? It's a similar situation, car is driven off the lot and enjoyed for a period of time - be it a day, a week or a year, - and then is taken to a dealer or speed shop and converted.
Is it valued the same, more, less? Does the name of the converter factor into it, whether it be a prominent dealer, speed shop, or individual? Interesting discussion!
