1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

Belongs to a friend but it is here at my house. Rally Green L78 Nova, column auto, orig engine and rear, prior owner said he thought orig trans got exchanged for a rebuilt years ago. Has rust holes in hood, fenders, rear wheel lips, a couple small holes in floor and around the tail panel weather strip area. I'm sure I am forgetting some but a very restorable car. Comes with another SS hood and a couple of good trunk lids. Looks like orig. alt, radiator, pulleys,probably dist. Orig carb was supposedly replaced with a correct one.Nice dash pad, floor mat looks saveable. Car has been sitting for years. Air cleaner base looks Chinese. Send me a PM or Email me at [email protected]

The Chinese have always been lax in the air cleaner base dept.

So the Mayor told me where to look for a build sheet. I pull the back seat out and I see parts of two sheets. First one I dig out has a diffferent body # though...Bummer. Next one I dig out has the right body # and enough of the sheet to see the L78 in box # 3. Ha ! Livin large.

SCORE!!! Congrats!

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project
 

..... What was the other build sheet for?

.... After all it is &quot;Christmas Time&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/santa.gif[/img]

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project
 

It's not uncommon to find the wrong build sheets in the springs, along with a correct one. Most Novas had the same blk standard interior. Line worker just grabbed the 731 taged seat.

You dog, that's great. Like $$$$$ under the seat.

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project

New price of 22,000.00...Somebody buy this as I'm tired of looking at it. Rally Green is pretty cool.

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

Price drop !!!!!! First guy with 20,000.00 owns it!!!!!!!

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

New price is 19,000.00

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

I love that car - wish I had room for it. Didn't the price go from 19 to 22 to 20 to 19 in this thread?

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

Bergy - the thread initiator can change the initial posting price and in this case Charley added a new post also. So it only appears that Charley's pricing is all over the place!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img]

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

Maybe it's in Euros.

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

Went from 22 to 20 to 19 as far as I know. Can somebody please buy it so it can go away ?

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

My mistake Charley. I didn't realize that you changed the initial posting. What a neat, rare, great color car for not too much $$. Can't remember - what's the ststus of the drive train? Running car?

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

Not running. Has been in storage for years. Engine is free though.

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

&quot;Engine is free though&quot;

I cant believe I am the first to catch this! OK I will take the engine!

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

Price lowered to 17,500.00

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

charlie, would would have been the original wheel/tire set up on this car?

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

if i send my email can you send more pictures?

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

Khunter...pics on the way.

Black69...I dunno.The nova experts can probably chime in.

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

Based on the standard vinyl interior, rubber mats and column shift..I would lean towards steel wheels, redlines and dog dish caps from the General. Upgraded wheels were not that common with the &quot;bare bones&quot; package...possible, but not likely. Most guys got this setup to go fast and typically added their own wheels and tires..along with headers, air shocks and so on.

I'll tell ya, I saw a original drivetrain (it looked it)70 L78 4 speed in much worse shape (rust holes in roof, etc) with no paperwork, and no starter, alt, things like that go for 17500.00 last summer on Ebay.....

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

This site sucks. I have had this pile advertized for almost a year.

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

Don't know why it has not sold..... Awesome price on a L78 with #'s matching to boot. Good color. Only the auto on the tree hurts.

And you found paperwork.......

Looks like a steal to me.

I have seen this car in person and it is very solid. This is a no brainer for an end user.

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

I'd buy it if I had any money. This car has my favorite color. Most of the paint fell off but my 56 was painted a similar color.

That link to the picture is broken.....

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

Is the car located in Woodland, California?

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

Yes

Re: 1969 L78 Nova project..found build sheet !
 

I will give it some more thought. It is just hard to get past the column shift automatic aspect. The cost of a full resto for a automatic is tough to justify, though I love these cars. Thanks
