He is Ken Tibor and goes by kwizz on this board (not sure if he got that name because he is REALLY good at something, or if he has a bladder control problem) and he has done a lot of research concerning the possible existence of L89 Novas.

I believe the "whizz" has to do with the Whizzer motorbike https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

I had the pleasure to meet and talk to Ken in person this year and he is REALLY good at something...being a kind, decent human being https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

It's funny you talk about the tranny stamp, the vin # is the exact same size but it's not exactly straight. Maybe because it's a little curved there? Note the tranny date is the SAME as the engine date????

Is it me or does any one else see numbers starting under the 9 and going from there?

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
 

When comparing the Vin from the trans. with the vin from the motor, I see a few obvious differences. First, the '0' in the trans VIN is more of an oval than the '0' in engine vin. And the 'W' in the trans vin has the centerpoint extending the same height as the letter itself. The 'W' in the engine vin has this centerpoint extending only about half way up.I wish I had the technology to post both side by side here on this thread...can somone help with that? It seems pretty obvious when comparing side by side...I am p.c. iliterate..hehe

My opinion is the 2 vins were stamped with different stamps.

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
 

Are the vin #'s on the engine/trans. stamped at the assembly plant or are they stamped at the engine plant and shipped that way for assembly? I can't understand why someone would restamp a block with a CKU code and then put steel heads on it, should have put the proper CKO code on it. I have some other close up photo's I'll post. Thanks for all the feedback, I love all the different opinions.
