Sounds like a great car at a fair price to me and I would definitely build an L78 motor for the car if it were mine. If it were any other color I'd be all over this car - nothing against Green guys, it's just a personal preference

Nice car, I would sonic test the 272 block and take it to 427 std. bore if it will go that far, then I would contact Stefano about the perfect trans for that car. John if you have the right block for the car why don't you put it together and sell it as a complete car?

"John if you have the right block for the car why don't you put it together and sell it as a complete car"?
2 reasons the car is a 09B of 68 car and the engine is a I 14 8 block if it was just 2 weeks earlier it would be perfect. Second I really have two many projects going right now, but if I have to put it on the back burners I will.
Chuck whats the date of your september engine I would be interested if it was first couple days of Sept. I will give you a call.
What vin number did 69 Novas start at this has to be one of the first 69s I think
