I am sure this car is just as original as the other L89 Nova. This will be the earliest car I have seen with the twin snorkel air cleaner and what looks to be a throttle rod instead of the cable. I do not remember seeing a four digit date code on a trim tag and the month being so far away from the rivet.

It looks to have 074 open chamber heads by the looks of the snowflakes. That would be a great combo with the L78 closed chamber pistons that I believe the engine should have in it.

I almost posted the same...I am pretty sure those are 074 heads,Look at the top of the cast area next to the exhaust port where the Winters Logo is, very flat, not like a 840/842 head. so much for the rare L89 option Is this the car that was on the Du Pont Registry some time ago ![]() |

I am fairly certain these are later cast heads because there is no pipe plugs on the ends of the heads. If I remember right I think this started after June 1970?

[/ QUOTE ] The "B" represents the vinyl roof. "732" simply means a black deluxe interior. As already mentioned the rivets seem to be set too far to the edges of the trim tag. ![]() |

The trim tag looks odd. The interior painted color should be A for black. Not B for blue. The date is 03D. Why does it say 03D0? Earl
