Default Re: BB L89 Nova on ebay

Hey Brian;
Was this '69 Chevelle a 'post' car? I think I ran into one a few years ago at Hershey, it was fathom green, bench seat, a/t on the column. Cool car.

The theory on the L89 Novas is that we can't say none were produced, nor can we say that any were! The option list certainly supports the possibility, and the weight savings of the Nova over the Camaro - plus the weight savings of alum. heads, would certainly be attractive to a serious drag racer back in '68-'70 despite the added cost. I think most Nova guys presume that a few were built, but we have never come across any - nor any paperwork/block codes for one. Most agree that of the few that were built, they were used for drag racing, their originality/paperwork would be long gone, and therefore none are found.

It's a killer combo, especially with an a/t - just ask Robbins, Brewer, and Johnson [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Just my $.02.
