Cheap '69 L-78 Nova, Build Sheet

[JRSully]

Lotta options on that puppy. Somebody drew a straight line down the available options boxes, even has the tach. Probably right on taking a front end hit, Rad is wrong and the BB rad flap and hardware are missing

Auction was ended. Anyone here take the plunge?

Wasn't me... but if the buyer needs a date correct L78 with a Nova VIN, I have one listed here.

So from the available paperwork could you tell which transmission the car had and maybe the axle ratio? The only thing I could decipher was the L78. Not a Nova expert.

The Fisher line sheet does not indicate the transmission choice...only the body changes needed to install the shifter. In this case it denotes a console...if this was a bench seat car there would simply be an M20 on the sheet. But that only means Fisher had to cut a hole in the floor for the shifter...not which Muncie was installed. As for the rear...it appears there is a 12 bolt in the car, though it may not be 'born with' considering the mono-leaf springs??

The axle will have a date code and ratio...it may be the original...hard to say.

1969 was the only year the Fisher paperwork listed the big block engine option...68 and 70 did not have this. None of these sheets listed the rear axle ratio...

**sometimes the body/chassis broadcast sheets were stuffed up under the dash...worth a look.
