1970 L89 NOVA

[BUIZILLA]

I have done considerable research on this and came up empty.... we DO know there were 311 L89 engines built for consumer use, that's a given.... however, nobody in the last 38 years has surfaced a shred of documentation that one 1969 L89 Nova exists, or was even built, to my knowledge. If so, I and 10 million others, really would like to see it. I asked Wayne at NNN about this 3 years ago when I was trying to build my '69 Nova for the F.A.S.T. events and he stated to me, at that time, that he has never seen one either. Camaro's was proven, Nova's were not.

I could be mistaken however.....

I think this black one has some documentation.

[Mr70]

Does that documentation reflect aluminum heads?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I think it might have had a POP.

Any factory paperwork would reflect the L89 option, the POP would show the engine code for L89. I would say that it needs to be factory paperwork to really verify it as an L89, not a dealer sales invoice.

If it's real and factory equipment, it'll certainly be expensive!.
I wouldn't expect the Legendary boys would say so if it wasn't, but lets see what they've come up with?.
Hopefully it's a Canadian car so there's unquestionable docs to back it up and not just paper and a Pop!.
Wouldn't a Canadian car w/ NOM feel better than a questionable original engine US car?.
Wasn't the one w/ supposed dealer added heads around a year or so ago a black car?.

I personally don't believe it.....there would have to be a "real" POP for me to be convinced....if it is legit the value should be way up there....call me when the jury comes in.

I have heard from someone who I feel is an expert in the field, who has no problem "calling a spade a spade" and has seen the car and documents. They say it is legit.
