Some offer! There is one in Hemmings right now with #'s match drivetrain for around $30k I think, and another one with some missing drivetrain for around $5k. Last month there were two in Hemmings for less than $20k, one with paperwork.

I have looked personally at the $30k car in NH and I passed on it. As for cars that are for sale for less, they rarely have original driveline or docs. A "CORE" BB L78 with matching driveline is hard to come by. Even harder to find one that hasn't been chopped up or modified. If you buy any BB Nova in the 15-30k range and then do a "REAL" resto on it you will have at least another 30-40k in the car. The quality frame off cars will always command a premium whether they are Novas, Camaros, Chevelles or whatever... the cost for original parts combined with the labor to do the job right have a big impact on the selling prices. There are always exceptions and sometimes people find a "deal", but you just don't see many L78 Novas for sale, especially nice ones.
