[/ QUOTE ]okay dokey then....
we have now been told it's a 375 steel head motor by the owner since it's a JH, so his advertised lingo is not accurate, in fact it's downright misleading. So, it's impossible to be one of the 311 L89 engines built... with that said, it doesn't matter how much money anybody has, it's a mis-advertised, overpriced, steel headed L78 car, in great condition. It would have sold by now had it been advertised honestly, and correctly, because I would have probably bought it. And, I have the cabbage to do it. In a drawer, right now. And further, thats a 100% fact. However, I would have required at least a legit POP to back up any claims. But, I don't do business with ANYBODY that misleads the public, and allows this thread to go 5 pages without correction and clarification... At this point, it doesn't really matter how nice the car is, it's just another 375 steel headed car....

Good day, Jim

How critical were the two or three chevy experts that you had look at the car? A lot of folks looked at the car at Hershey, and noticed some things - hence the questions regarding the engine stamp and the tach. Can you post some pics?

[/ QUOTE ]

Any possibility of getting a pic of the engine stamp, the tach redline and the rad support? That would help determine if it's an L78.

"no its not the car
i also have that car
that one is not for sale"

The bottom statement kinda ruins the top statement.

I don't believe you have two identical cars like you said which is very misleading. Getting into a pissing contest with people that know more about Chevys than you do is just going to make things worse. Please just post pics of the engine pad, radiator core support and learn from Chevy guys about Chevys. It would be better to learn now, good or bad.

Please tell me the upper control arms, hood latch, wiper motor, and brake bracket items are no longer chrome? It appears to missing a key nut on the core support as well, but it might be the angle of the photo.

It would clear a lot of fog if you could post some pics of the requested items, as of now it appears that the L78 claim is in question.

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIGINAL
 

in my opinion having a nice original L-78 nova would be very nice. i guess it's human nature to want to own some of the rarest production cars. in the end, it is what it is.

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIGINAL
 

I would have to agree, under the circumstances, there has been a lot of restraint. Am I wrong, or is the primary focus of this site education and preservation? Getting to list items for sale (for free!) is just a bonus, albeit one for which I am grateful. I have been able to find buyers for some rare parts on this site, but also ERRONEOUSLY listed one item as something it was not. I was quickly educated and was APRECIATIVE of the education. So my part wasn't worth what I thought it was. Big deal. I got an education.

When you list something here, especially "one of 311", you should expect some scrutiny. AND I for one, don't think the thickness of your wallet should determine whether you can take part in the educational process of that scrutiny.

JMHO.

Lighten up. Most people that have reacted the way you have would have been blown off of here a long time ago. These guys are really only trying to help you out and/or are just interested in finding out the information. By now 2/3rds the muscle car community knows of this car and this sort of publicity is not doing you OR your car any good. jmo https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIGINAL
 

Ralph.....What if we tried to sell you a R model Fairlane but when you asked for the vin we ignore your request. You have been asked several times to just show pics of what we would consider the "R" but you have ignored us. You can consider it bashing but you really bring it on yourself. It is OK to be wrong. Your response always seems to be to take the offensive instead of just showing us the "R" and sorting out what your car really is. Now you want to meet up with the bashers and they will have their hands full ? Are you like 14 years old ? We have bent over backwards but it won't last much longer. You have been cut alot of slack because you are not just someone coming to the site to peddle cars. If you were a outsider that came here trying to sell your car the way you have you would be long gone by now.

Here's an email I sent the seller:

"Nice Camaro. Are you saying that it (IS) one of the 311 L78's made in 69 or that it is (like) one of the 311. If it is one of the 311 can you send a picture of the block pad to [email protected] . Also, what documentation do you have on the car."

Here's the response:

"ALL THE INFORMATION WE PROVIDED WAS TOLD TO US BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. IF THERE IS INFO THAT YOU KNOW THAT MIGHT HELP US PLEASE LET US KNOW. THANKS"

It's always the same with sellers like that. Plausible deniability.

Lets see, I have been a Chevy guy all my life. And if I came across a RARE Ford, I think I would have done some research before shooting of my mouth. And shame on Marlin for not jumping to your aid when he has own life to live. Maybe, JUST MAYBE he had more important things on his mind like his own life. People like this just kill me that you should jump when they tell or ask us. The bottom line, do your own homework before you put a car up FOR SALE.

HA https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif Now this is getting good!

My wife calls me two weeks ago and says this guy Ralph so-n-so called, and I'm to call him back. I ask what about, but Ralph didn't say. I don't call him back then, sounds like a telemarketer to me. The next time you call wanting something, leave a message if it's a Nova question.

This thread has gone very smoothly, the only requests are for you to show the pics of the tach (reportedly a low redline, indicating an L34 or L48), core support (appears to missing a vital nut specific to BB cars), and the engine stamp (reportedly boogered up, and might be a rehit). If you could oblige the requests, you just might enjoy this experience!

BTW, don't threaten people - that will get you booted off of this site, and you will 'sleep with the rabbits'.

Damn I am glad I don't know enough about any cars to get into discussions like this! It has been FUNNY THOUGH! I guess when GM comes out with all the NUMBERS for everyone! Is that going to be like when the stock market CRASHED many years ago! How many people you figure will be RUN OVER by that BUS!I have a 67 chevelle SS with aluminum heads does that mean it is a L89! So I bought them frome EDELBROCK does that really matter!I had them stored in the trunk of the car for 2 months before I gathered all the internals for the engine!I do have the paperwork on them and the old 396 steel heads to boot! OK I will behave now just funning everyone a little!
