Re: 1970 L78 Nova
 

Also included with the car are a correct date coded set of 4 SS wheels (current are Repro), an original shifter, and correct fan Blade.

The L78 will be on display in the Members rides/ sYc display at the Spring Chevy Vette Fest.

Re: 1970 L78 Nova
 

Rear; see pic on previous page; BT 0618G1 is original 3.55 posi.

Carb is 3967477 GG 4557 012 date 1970 January 2

Water Pump part #3969811 date C 28 0 March 28th 1970

Alternator is 1100837 date is march 2 1970

Dist has original purple inspection mark looks like 9L2 1969 November 2nd.

Trans has Vin and M21 code.

I was wrong about the fan blade it is still not correct, anyone have one available for sale?

No restamped Parts or Drivetrain!

Re: 1970 L78 Nova
 

Is there a 'C' on that rear tube just before the 'BT'? The 'C' is usually off to the left, apparently was stamped separately due to the '69 gang holder not having room for the extra letter!

I wish I had about $60K more dollars...sure would look good next to my fathom blue Chevelle https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Nothing about Novas gets by Marlin. I must have had '69s on the brain when I cropped the picture, but the rear does have the C stamped before the BT and the letter is not in gang form and more consistent with the date code stampings.

Re: 1970 L78 Nova
 

Nice! That's a '70 thing, and the 'C' is always outside the normal gang holder area, and usually crooked - different depth - and in a different location vertically. I'm not sure if the '71+ Novas have a three letter code, I think they may have gone back to the two letter version.

Cool, that's a late car!

Re: 1970 L78 Nova
 

That's a beautiful car Steve, I've drooled all over it many times. I can't for the life of me understand why this car hasn't sold. Who ever buys this car is going to have one fine ride. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 1970 L78 Nova
 

Nickey did sell the car to Brad, who now has it on consignment with us. I know he has his eye on another special car.

Does anyone know of a later L78?

Re: 1970 L78 Nova
 

Steve, in all my L78 travels that is latest date I have seen...latest we have is 1st week of July/70...I'll bet that car was born with one of those high priced dual-snorkle air cleaners https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif ....let's see now, how about I trade ya 2 837's for that fancy air cleaner?.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

good luck with the car..wilma
