Default Re: Info on a 'Canadian' Nova..

Got it 'unofficially' from GM Canada Vintage back in the mid 90's that there were no big block Acadians built at Willow Run. However, big block Novas were built there and shipped to Canada. My 1970 Nova SS L78 was shipped from Willow Run to Belmont Motors in Toronto on June 27, 1970. Never could get it officially, but GM Canada Vintage intimated that it could have been the last L78 shipped to Canada before big block Nova production ended.

Also interesting that there were no 1968 L79 (327/325 HP) Acadians built at Willow Run. 1274 L79 Novas were built in 1968 and a handful were shipped to Canada. Three Canada sold 1968 Nova L79s still exist and are in the Canadian L79 Registry.
