Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIG
Well, these guys weren't exactly kind to us when they scoured the car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif But I guess they liked what they saw 'cause, after HOURS of study, it left on their trailer.
Ralph, try to look at this in a different light. Like Schonye said, many of us look at an L89 Nova as the Holy Grail. If you had proof that one REALLY exists, you would be held in Extremely High Regard here. We're all just hoping to find a Unicorn! No offense intended. I hope it's real. |
Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIG
A JH suffix denotes the L-78 396/375HP engine.
A JJ suffix denotes the L-89 Aluminum head engine. I don't think anoyone is being too critical here,just trying to understand what you are selling. You're quoted as saying:: "I AM SELLING MY 69 NOVA SS L-89 1 OF 311 427 ALUM HEAD L-78 ALSO WITH THE MATCHING L-78 HEADS"...$85,000.00 Later you say... the car is real wheather its a l-78 car or l-89 like i said at worst its a l-78 unrestored original jh block and the engine stamp is correct.so im not a chevy expert but i know its a matching numbers car." So now it's not one of the 311 made L-89's,nor even a 427 engine? When asked if this is the very same car for sale here,you said: "no its not the car i also have that car that one is not for sale" So you have two identical RG 69 Novas w/identical mileage and options,one for sale,and one not? |
Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIG
Ralph,
I am just an outsider looking in and have no interest in the car but one things for sure, when you come onto a forum (any forum) and advertise your car for free I might add, then you should expect a few questions and some critiquing. It comes with the territory. As many people have learned the hard way the experts on these sites can help you or they can hurt you in a very big way. Cop and attitude and it will follow you and your car for a very long time and if you do some research you will see what I mean. Many have asked you very sincerely for answers to a few questions yet you continue to skirt them. All I am trying to say is it sounds like you have a very desirable and possibly extremely rare car. You are coming here trying to sell your car. Let the people help you sell and don't belittle them for doing that very thing you are asking for. Anyone who shells out $85k is going to ask you these very same questions. If you answer them the same way you have here, don't plan on selling it too quickly. People that avoid certain questions are usually trying to hide something. If in fact this is the real deal, you will be VERY thankful that these guys educated you on the car and forced you to acquire documentation as your profit level will greatly increase so just be careful. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif Moral of the story, the guys here are trying to help you NOT bad mouth you but you are not giving them much of a chance. As has been said earlier, the Mopars and Fords have better records than the Chevrolets. That and the fact that cloned Chevrolets are at an all time high means people want straight answers and not BS. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif Nice collection by the way but I already told you that before.

Ralph, You are getting alot of attention here for free! Especially for a FOMOCO guy. One of the chevy (experts,gurus) I know saw this car at Wildwood and thought that it was a very nice car, but the radiator support looked kind of different for a BB. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Maybe you don't want to be near that bus when the numbers come out! Might be dangerous. Post the docs and go from there. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIG
Wow, I had an easier time over the weekend introducing my new honey to Mom! .
Anyway, very cool car Ralph...it's this one right? http://www.santiagosc.com/Nova%20SS%20396.htm The L89 Nova debate has just never been clarified YET, so please stick around w/ the car and don't be too upset at the hungry pack of dogs reaction to the bone you've tossed? . I see you've indicated previously it's a matching Vin JH suffix motor...so all would indicate shipped as an L78...and obviously the POP won't help. . Did you ever get w/ the original owner or dealer? . If yes to either/both and no documents to support but there's agreement to the dealer installed thing...get a sworn statement(s) while possible! . If nothing else ever shows up, this could be the closest things ever get to documenting these? . For all who care...why when reviewing suffix possibilities for a factory shipped L89 Nova, each L89 suffix notes only Camaro yet when looking at L78 suffixes it notes a shared suffix w/ Camaro, Chevy 2/Novas? . Maybe this happened when the info was gleaned but it looks this way in what I've read? . If indeed factory shipped L89 Camaros were available and Nova's had to be finished at the dealer level, you'd think there'd have been a bulletin on this subject? . And Ralph...nice list is right https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif ~ Pete |

That thread really clarifies what the owner was unable or unwilling to provide for us from the very beginning of this thread. No wild goose chase for me on this one.
