Rare does not always = desirable by the masses. [/quote]

Isn't that the truth.... I just have to LOL because every auction I watch Ford,Chevy,Or Mopar the rarity or how many produced is always brought up. Who would want to own something different or rare when you can easily buy something everyone else has....

Sorry back to the original topic.

Re: L78 nova
 

The original engine and trans are gone and we have the gm of Canada documents. Here is another picture of the car.

Re: L78 nova
 

There were 5,233 Burnished Brown Nova's produced paint code 918 accounting for only 2.16% of all Nova colors produced.
Just some other info that may help the rarity question. Out of all the L78's produced: as you were already told only 682 had M22's, the rest of the L78's were broken up as follows: 64 3-speeds, 3751 M21's and 1009 3-speed automatics.

Just curious where you got the info on the breakdown of the transmissions with the L78 engine [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] I have been researching these cars for years and have never seen this data. You don't mention the M20 4spd...I would have thought that tranny would have a fairly high percentage of the total ??

**also your breakdown by tranny exceeds the total number of L78's built??

Re: L78 nova
 

Total L78's shows 5262: 3-speeds: 64, 4-speeds: 4189, Automatics 1009 = 5262.

Never before know to exist book that I have access to, broken down by every RPO and then by ECL code. Sometimes by model.

Re: L78 nova
 

Cool info. I always thought the th400 cars were approximately 20% of the total.

Re: L78 nova
 

Any idea how many L78s in burnished brown?

Re: L78 nova
 

Doesn't break down that granular, I supplied the Burnish Brown total for all Nova's that's the only way it breaks it down, same thing for interior codes.
