69 nova 427 new to site

Cool piece. Appears some things were changed as the frt fenders have no motor call out. Just the marker light unless they filled the holes to make you guess. "yea, it's just a 6 banger".
Frt headlight bezels are non SS but could have been changed out.
Is the original rear still in the car? I expect the internals are gone, but would be interesting to see what it was born with.
Burnished brown in bc/cc is very cool. Good luck with the project.

In 1980/81 when my friend Dave owned it he put on GM nos new front fenders, both front and rear bumpers and I think grill. Thats also when he put on wider flares and the numerous stripe paint job.

Front end crash between 1986 and 2002. I've got about 40 to 50 hours in body work in hood alone. One of the owners rear ended an other car in town. At that time still had 456 rear gears. He also hit curb with right side of rear wasting the 12 bolt. I had the clearfield votec autobody instructor repair the nos fenders.

No the 12 bolt was gone. Broadcast sheet says L48 from factory. But as early as 1975 was a 427 crate. I think my friend still has those numbers. 427 now somewhere near Bellefonte Pa. Had 780 holly, no name long tubes.
