Default Re: 1970 ss NOVA

My GM Canada documented 1970 Nova SS was the last L78 shipped to Canada (end of June/70). It had the F41 option and the rear sway bar. Showing as a separate option was the G32 computer selected rear springs. This car also had the dual snorkel air cleaner.

So marshall...just to clarify: your Jan built 70 physically has the rear sway bar on the car or are you just referring to the F41 option listed on the GM of Canada docs?? If you have the bar, it is the earliest one I have ever heard of.

Thanks...wilma

I don't believe the rear bar was available until March or April. As well as the resonators and dual snorkel.

Technically, it's possible but like Tom states - it would be the earliest one we've heard of. IIRC, there are Revision dates on the blueprints as Jan of '70, and the initial design dates were in December of '69 which means that it's possible that they could have incorporated the RSB into the option as quickly as Jan '70, unlikely - but possible....

Yup, paperwork changes and line implementation of a running change are two different things.

Those changes could happen pretty fast and did not always wait for an AIM revision to physically make it to the floor
