Somehow the Canadian Documentation page (not the microfiche) looks off to me. Notice no mention of the radio or windshield antenna, but it does appear on the microfiche. Colour 19/19 on the document doesn't look right to me either.

If someone does get the car I have the proper Canadian Owners Manual available.

Two out the three L78 70 Novas I had, were radio delete, but had windshield antennas. Both had the antenna wire, but they were jammed behind the defroster ducts on the assembly line. Small detail, but I wouldn't think the antenna was a separate option (worth listing).

I would agree with this analysis...the antenna was moved to the windshield in 1970. Given that GM is a manufacturer who measures costs per vehicle. Including the antenna on all windshields makes sense...adding a radio doesn't impact that.

Glad to see some Nova threads hitting the airwaves

Respectfully disagree with this analysis. I have the microfiche and the Canadian documentation package that is sent for your VIN when you pay for it.

The radio U63 and the window antenna U76 call outs do appear on both documents as shown by my attached example.

I think it’s not listed because the documentation request is from 1991 and they were a bit primitive I’d guess at listing everything. I bet if you ordered the same one today it would be more complete.

Definitely the new owner should buy a fresh set of VVs docs with his/her name on it.

That car sold about an hour away from me :-)
