I hate to beat up someone elses car but here are a few things that need a little closer look. These are some quotes from Steves Nova page.
"I still have the GM Canada documentation for the 1970 L78 SS I foolishly sold 5 years ago. On the eBay car's documentation, notice a cut or fold after 'colour.' There are 6 more lines on mine after that giving Production Plant, Shipping Date, Model Number, Engine, Selling Dealer and Number Produced for Sale in Canada. They may have deleted these just to make the page fit, or ?? Also, the M40 THM400 was listed under Options on mine. My car also had the ZL5 Exterior Decor option which I believed included the full length mid body front to rear molding that mine had. I don't think there is any doubt this car is for real (check the GM Canada Cold Weather Oil Recommendation sticker still on inner right fender shirt). As someone else suggested, I think it's been quite highly modified in it's past life with a rush effort to restore to stock." Bob
1. a non-blacked out grill and tail panel
2. a non-big block core support? Huh
3. a steering wheel horn shroud that looks like a '69 part (different grain)
4. a column-shifted TH-400 Nova with no "PRND21" on the speedometer. Shocked
5. a GM sheet that doesn't even mention a transmission code.
6. a GM sheet calling out 731 as "black patterned fabric". Isn't 731 the standard vinyl? Why does it have carpet in there? And reproduction deluxe door panels? And mismatched front and rear seat covers?
Oops, too many things in #6.
7. a seat tag with B84 and B90 codes.... B84 is body side molding. I don't see any.
I'll add 8. The engine doesn't look offset enoug to the passenger side. So it must have SB Frame mounts.
here is an old link to ebay the last time it was on the auction block it had a tunnel ram
