Need help with 1970 Nova research

Even more images.

The interior is sweet! Notice the hack-job on the console.
( It was so young, why-O-why )

OK,

Here is the dilemma on the rear code. We're stumped and hope
some of you have seen something like this before.

Steve

The POP ( SEE PREVIOUS POST ) shows the rear code to be
CBT 1016 G and the rear has the 1016 G portion of the code,
but the ALPHA prefix is buggered-up and we can't figure out
if this was a factory boo-boo or what. Any thoughts?

First: Cool car! I wouldn't be too concerned about the buggered stamp...probably just a bad day on the line....since the date matches the POP you are ok. Those axle stamps run the full spectrum from perfectly clear to so faint you can hardly see them. I have even seen stamps that were almost on the top of the tube..lots of variations on the same theme. Did you by chance check the casting no. on the housing and date?? Might help to ease your mind... What are your plans now for the car??? That interior color is really different..you don't see that everyday on an L78 car!

Tom,

Plan is to restore this car back to as original as possible.
That includes the original black cherry paint and SS hood.

I will get this info on the rear housing casting & date and
post that as well. Thanks for you continued help.

Nice car man.I had a 71 Camaro SS in the same combo.
The black ext with parchment is awesome.
