One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

I know this one has been beaten to death. Sure would have been fun if you could really order one this way back in the day.

So the B on the cowl tag is a "typo" by the factory? Oh nevermind.

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

It actually does look like a typo, otherwise its a very strange and unique combination. The extra digit after the date is odd too. Either somebody had a really bad day back then or....

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

If this car brings $125, Kwhizz should increase the coverage on his car DRAMATICALLY! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

@ 125 that's called a fishing expedition.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

'xactly, I'm not saying this car is an L89, we all know better, but the TT is a bit..... confusing!

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

It just seems odd that this one 70 Nova has a BUNCH of stuff that was supposedly never available on a 70 Nova, L89, 4:10 rear (outside of a Deuce),heavy duty clutch (maybe there is a HD clutch Nova out there.?)"somehow" this guy got all 3 on the same car, remarkable.

That VIN stamp on the block looks VERY funky

And the trans looks very fresh.

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

The VIN stamp on the trans does not match the one on the engine. The font on the 'O' is different and they should be the same. One of them if not both is not original.

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

I compared the VIN stamp and Tonowanda stamp to our "real" L78 cars and there is a noticeable difference....

What does the "B" code on the trans represent and what was it represented to be?

The B in the stamp means the transmission was an M21. (A = M20, C = M22) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

You would think that if the car had a 4:10 rear end, L/89 motor and a 3-spoke steering wheel why stop at a M-21? I would think that it should have a M-22 to complete the package.

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

Most 4 speed ZL1's were M21's...

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

I was led to beleive M22's were not available in Novas in 1970.

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

Smok'in Nova??............LOL

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

Before it was on Ebay, this car was listed on duponts registry for sale at $189,500!

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

Just something fishy about the wrong interior color combinations (black bench seat, blue interior), plus the mysterious 'O' . That typoed trim tag is more rare than the car itself. Its an L-89, AND it has multiple typo's too? Wow, imagine the odds! This guy needs to play the lotto. Seriously, is it just me, or does something smell fishy?

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

So, just what are you saying??

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

The guy takes perfect pictures and then can't find the macro setting on the camera when he takes the shot of the protect-o- plate. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

These cars do not exsist.

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

JMO It's not real. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Again in 20 years I am still waiting to see evidence of a real L-89 nova.

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

The VIN stamp on the engine appears wrong, the 10W... is 1OW, subtle, but it should be a zero not a letter. I saw that the rear code is CBW, which is a 4.10:1 code used on the deuces. However, that rear has been hit as well, the CBW stamping on the original cars is very unique - and this one is not even close. The fuzzy POP is interesting! Looks like a Sutliff car, they did get some cool stuff - but this car does not appear to be a legit L89.

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's

Marlin,

Wouldn't a "CBW" indicate a special heat treated ring and pinion? Has there been any other documented examples of special COPO high performance rear ends (CBW, BV) in other than COPO cars? Also, I would have expected that all CBW axles would have been assembled in a few batches in the May (or later) time frame (not March)in anticipation of the Deuce production. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Just by looking at the pictures your car was built a whole lot better than the silver car. If I had to spend that kind of money for a Nova your car would be a better value.
