Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

Just wanted to ad that I have this car listed in the cars for sale. I just added several current pictures of car and what has been currently done. Thanks Robby

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

Just wanted to update everybody that car is on its way to being brought back together. Here is currant pictures of car being painted.

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

One more?

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

I will post more as soon as block sanding, and buffing is finished!!

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

I hope you plan on painting the top of the cowl black! It's a Nova, not a Camaro https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

I thought the cowl was painted the same color as car? I have a 68 parts car with original paint and it is painted the car color.

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

Nope.

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

If a person took his car to motion as the original owner of my 68 396 375 hp factory ordered Camaro did, you would think that the modification would be to a 427 425 hp CE block. Why would a person bring his 396 375 hp factory ordered car to Motion and come out with the same 396 375 hp matching numbers original block.Would it not of been better
to install a 427 425 enjine???????

The 2" exhaust was common performance mod in those days. People weren't into the large pipes at all. The first performance exhaust put on ZL1 #1 for drag testing was 2" glasspack system with tailpipes and all.

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

P.J., Some people wanted to keep their factory warranties. Ask Joe Guerra (Joe G on this site). He ordered his 1969 Chevelle as a Phase III car with the factory original L78 396.

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

Tim
how the heck could you pull that off with GM reps at the drag strips cacelleing warrenties every weekend.

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

I bet the answer is probably lack of $'s. A super tune and a few speed parts added to the original engine was a whole lot cheaper than a full engine swap. It makes even more sense if the car was local to the area at the time of the mods.

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

P.J., My Dad raced (street and track) with the salesman and mechanics from the local Chevrolet Dealership (Community Chevrolet now Ross Downing Chevrolet) where he bought his 1968 SS 396 Chevelle L78, tripoli turquoise with black vinyl top at. My Dad raced this car and drove it every day. However, I know for a fact that GM reps do stop in at Ross Downing and record the vins of any Vettes that are in the service dept. with any warranty voiding modifications. I guess that the GM reps that liked cancelling warranties could not be every where all of the time. Also, it is my understanding that Baldwin Chevrolet honored the warranties on the Phase III L78 cars. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

Nice color. What is it? Looks alot like a '67 color.

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

Color is 1970 Fathom Blue original color. I am very please with the way it turned out. Car is very straight and paint looks like it is a mirror finish.

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

What's the build date?

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

Here is a trim tag pic. m

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

I saw the bolt on hinges and figured it had to be before Jan. of '70, and with a Nov. build date it fits the equation. Was hoping it'd be in Jan, then we could try to narrow it down to the week!

Thanks for the pic.

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

Just wanted to update everybody that I sold my car. However I did not sell my NOS set of authentic Motion Emblems in the pack! I also have a set of dupree nos fuel pumps with fuel log for sale. here is picture of emblems.

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

I am the new owner of this car. The car is being finished and will be available soon for sale. I have done more research on this car and have found out that the car originally had a Stinger Hood on it as well as Corvette Side exhausts. The paint on the car was solid Fathom Blue, which is correct now and it is a complete numbers matching car. Just wanted everyone to know what is going on with the car, and I will update everyone when the car is complete.

Thanks, Jeff

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

Welcom to the site Jeff. You &amp; I spoke briefly the day you bought the Nova, when I was at Chip's place.
How did you find that info? Were you able to trace the owner history back to day 1?
