Re: 1969 Nova SS Hugger Orange?
I think I saw this Nova crusing down (on a trailer) south on I-380 between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, IA - was this that nova? looked real nice - no front clip.

Re: 1969 Nova SS Hugger Orange?
Yep. That was it. Shaun was dead on with his description. I've tore it appart trying to prove it was not a hugger orange car, and am now 99.9/100 sure it is. Also many good indications that it was an L78. Enough that I would bet it is. The body is in amazingly good condition. I see no sheetmetal replacement. One of the best novas I've ever seen from a no rust stand point. I need a good a$$ kickin for not buyin it myself.

I am happy to hear that this worked out for everyone....it is a special car and will go to good home. Congrats Alan on the confirmation, my best in the restoration process. I hope someday I get a shot at it again. Take care,
