new e-bay record set for five blade nova fan?
 

ebay item number# 70189439743
L-78 nova five blade, sold for $1,175.00

maybe the other e-bay nova five blade fan purchased for $750.00 was a good investment. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

big number for that considering most BB Nova fans had flat rivets, never saw an original for 69,70 with round rivets, but anything is possible I suppose

Yep, different rivets do the same thing. Possible engineering deviation when needed. Happens alot in automotive.

Isn't this blade supposed to have a "W" stamped on it to be correct? The seller does not state if it has any markings at all.

I have an original on my desk now and just took photos of the original off our survivor 70...they both have the flat rivets.....it also appears if there is a slight recess (almost a coutersunk area) at each fan bolt hole. May just be from being bolted on the engine but it looks like it is machined into the part. Maybe I can swap a 5 blade fan for an 837 alternator...or 499 distributor.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

I was watching this fan also, of course with no intention of bidding, little much for my pocketbook right now.. BIG MONEY for a fan!!! I guess these things are just rare pieces just like the LS6/L78 dual snorkel air cleaners that command these kind of prices!! They were taken off/disposed of back in the day and replaced with flex fans for racing.. I was a little concerned over the feedback from the seller.. Did anyone look at this?? Seems there were some other unhappy buyers of parts..
