Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIGINAL
I still would like to know if you have any factory documentation backing up your claim that it is in fact a factory built L89 Nova (yes/no), before I travel 4 hrs to look at the car. Also do you have any pics of the motor stamping and what is the red line on the factory tach.

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIGINAL
Steve
i had two or three chevy experts look at the car,plus spoke to the original owner who claims the car had both sets of heads when it was delivered to him from the dealer.they tell me there is no documentation anywhere as to the verification of any nova l-89 except for dealer delivery.i understand that chevy has the vin munbers soon to be released with all the info on all hipo cars.this car is very nice unrestored car.i bought it because it was rare and had the matching motor with both sets of heads.the 427 heads are on the car and the matching l-78 heads were in the trunk.i wish i knew more.the guys in here are very critical and think they know everything. i only collect rare musclecars.the chevy guys that looked at this car know what there looking at,im not looking to argue in here like some of these guys.i dont needto sell the car and i dont need the money.i just the room for some others i bought.ill take it to barrett-jackson and take my chances. thanks |

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIGINAL
How critical were the two or three chevy experts that you had look at the car? A lot of folks looked at the car at Hershey, and noticed some things - hence the questions regarding the engine stamp and the tach. Can you post some pics?
BTW, you might wish to refrain from referencing the 'one of 311' in any future ads for the car - this will only cause you heartache! I too believe that Chevy made a few L89 Novas, but to date there have been zero documented cars found - and they certainly didn't make 311 of them, that is a Camaro estimate.

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIGINAL
Ralph, If this is a true L-89 Nova. The suffix on the block should be different than a L-78 motor, since this is the org. block. I would like to know what is the suffix?? Kim

Ralph.............It's very easy to put together a factory correct appearing L-89 car.....If you were in the process of buying this car, you would welcome the experience,knowledge and critiqueing that is available here to verify the pedigree of your future Investment......since you already own the car, don't take it the wrong way......But........It is what it is..........
