Default Re: 69 BB Nova - L78 or L34?

I actually talked to a couple of the previous owners today. The car was sold new in Iowa and seemed to spend most of it's time in Nebraska. Through conversations with the two guys in Nebraska the car has not had an engine in it since at least the mid 80's. It has been barn stored or in a garage since then as it moved through 3 different owners. The guy who owned it in the later 80's said he once talked to a woman who drove it in the 70's to high school every day in Grand Island, Nebraska. He said that she pretty much confirmed it was a L78 car. He is going to look through some of his old records and see if he can find her name.

I'll get some pics this weekend. I might need help posting them though!

Jason, I'll pull the back seat again and have another look.
