Picked up a 69 Nova 396/375 shell over the weekend, upon further inspection it had a Dupree electric fuel pump in the trunk, SW triple gauges in it from way back when, but no other unigue stuff, all original sheetmetal, no orig drivetrain. It is an original 4spd car. obviously a super longshot for a BM car, but you never know. My question, is there anything else to look for (clues)eventhough the drivetrain is gone.? Would like to know before I chop it up. Thanks in advance.SULLY

From what we know, the Novas did not get the stripe option like the camaro's, so no use trying to find black/white paint in the cowl area. I would look for the normal options installed on the various Phase lists, ignition, fuel, suspension, etc.... Other than that, maybe call Joel and see what he's got from a paperwork standpoint? Do you know prior owners, or the original dealer?

Hey Marlin, don't know the originating dealer, it's a NY car it's whole life from what I been told. As soon as I saw the Dupree electric fuel pump in the trunk, I was curious,car also has tow tabs bolted on it. Guy I got it from said he thought it had a 427 for a long time, otherwise it appears to be a very stock L78 car. I know somebody who can run the VIN, we'll see what comes back. Thanks SULLY

Please explain,"chop it up".

Chop it up=Part it out- Unless I find a build sheet or two, which is possible, as the interior has never been touched. Then maybe it will go as a complete car, unless of course it turns out to be Baldwin car, then all hell will break loose (wouldn't that be nice) SULLY
