1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

I don't have any pics yet but will soon.

I have known this car for a long time. It is a local car which was to have been sold out of Fencl Tufo Chevrolet (no NICB). Was a weekend warrior from day two.

The car had three owners up to a few years ago and has had a total of five to date.

It is a Fathom Blue, Black Bench, 4 speed. Appears to have the original 3.55 CBT code rear. Non original M22 and period correct CE coded L78. Correct intake and smog.

All original sheet metal car, with some minor rust repairs around the lower portion of the rear 1/4s. Original trunk and floor pans.

The car was restored/painted approx 5 years ago, from its mostly original paint.

It was a rubber floor, and no trim option as well as low option L78. Now has SS wheels.

According to the prior owners the approx. 20k miles showing is actual.

It is a very nice driver and a real L78, but has no documents or paperwork.

$45,000.00

A good car for you Rob. I know Stefano's kids will take some TastyKake https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif in trade! I will send you a couple cases. He is easy to deal with. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

"...A good car for you Rob..."

Whttps://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gifW...my first thought too!.

And if you're still stuck on an L48, enjoy owning and documenting this one until the right deal comes along?.

Rob was over checking it out yesterday. I have a deal cooking with a member and the tasty Kakes might just get it done!

Original owner died but subsequent owners are still in the area. I never ran an NICB, when I had the chance, as I didn't question the story. Anyone have access to run a VIN???

The car had 4.56 gears, lakewood vintage slapper bars and an electric fuel pump, in the trunk, when I first looked it over many moons ago.

Beautiful Nova Steve.
Did it ever see Washington Il. or there abouts?

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

Next time have some coors light in that fridge, i love that silver bullet. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

Ok, who was bringing the Kakes? There are only a few on here that have total access to the Kakes! Sam better not have sold out for a BB!

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

As far as I know it was never garaged more than 20 miles from the selling dealership. It did make some treks to the local Drag strips.

Deal is pending receipt of the case of Tasty Kakes, which Sam promised.

I do have to give Sam and the Dutchman credit for providing me and the kids our first experience with the Kakes https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Culture and the Chevy Vette/Fest go hand in hand.

ps Mark, Congrats with the purchase of your L78 Nova https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

Love the color. Cant beat the old bench seat four speed!

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

You are getting a pretty cool car thats for sure. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

So I guess the word is out. If Stefano only knew how bad I wanted this car but I just never had enough money. I kept telling myself to just go see Stefano and see if we could work something out but I never have the time. I offered to pay for the car on my credit card but Stefano got real quite so I will have to finish the transaction Monday. I am not going to tell my wife till the car shows up in a truck, that is always fun. Now we need to find a car for Rob.

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

So you bought the blue Nova Stefano has?

If so...cool https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif!

Is this the car I wil get to ride in when we come out for the donut derelicts this coming summer? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

I told you I would work on having something when you come out here.
Mark Sheppard

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

Cool...Congrats again!

BTW, if the wife gets angry...come spend a few days here and let her cool off https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

I am really thinking about having it dropped off at work and ask if I can store it at the bowling alley across the street. I did that with a VW bug one time when I worked for another company, I kept it for 4 years and never brought it home.
Mark Sheppard

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

Since the car is close to me just store it here for a few years and give me the keys https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

There is enough space there at the alley....that's for sure https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Just ask Dave if it's okay...if you can't get a hold of him...just tell Vicki he said it was okay...lol https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

I stopped by the International Headquarters of Nickey Chicago a couple days ago on the way back from Green Bay. When they fired this baby up, my heart skipped a beat.

Congrats on purchasing a really neat car and if you ever decide to bring it back to Illinois, there will be a spot at Chevy Vettefest with your name on it!

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

Thank you, I am excited about getting the car. So what kind of muffler system is on the car?
Mark Sheppard

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

Mark, Just have the car displayed at the Chevy Vettefest https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif and have it shipped to you after , that way we can all enjoy the car too. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

I am ok with that but it will be up to Stefano.

Re: 1970 L78 Nova NOM
 

I'll even take a boat load of pictures of it for you, and post them too. But if you want me to test drive it let me know now. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Hey I am closer and since I have already checked it out twice, I think I should take here for a spin. She is only about a 40 minute car ride from me. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif
