Default Re: í69 Yenko Nova Question

------All you guys clearly know more than me about Novas.However,in late 1970 I went to the local Olds dealer to pick up my brothers new 1971 W30 Cutlass.While there I was cruising the used car lot and there was a 1969 L78/auto Nova there,that I remember having virtually no options.It had a rubber floor covering,vinyl bench seat,no guages of any kind(except speedo of course),and it certainly had no SS emblems present.I also remember that the car appeared completely stock,both outside and under the hood.It was dark green with a black gut,and couldnt have been more of a sleeper.I got the keys from the salesman and it was a fairly stout ride.Would love to have it today,but back then I felt like I would get tired of it pretty quick,as it didnt have power steering.Did I see some sort of aberration?Always just assumed you could have ordered an L78 in any 1969 Nova,or at least any two door..........Bill S


-----I should amend my statement that there were no SS emblems to "I dont remember there being any SS emblems"
