This car cost a whole lot more than $16,500. I don't think the correct 427, 12 bolt rear and muncie trans in this car could be had for $16,500. I appreciate most concerns about clone cars. I just wanted some opinions without anyone getting their feathers ruffled about clones. I was into correct numbers, etc. long before most were even talking about such things. Probably 1971 or 72 when I had my first 1969 L-78 Nova with a factory M-22. Just to show where I'm coming from, I have had my current L-34, 1969 Nova since October 1981 and still have not restored the car, because I know I will probably never find the original 396. And if I did it would never measure up to the 1969 L-78 Nova I had in the early 70's. I am seriously thinking about restoring it in the near future. Of course the 1971 L-48 (350) motor it currently has will be replaced with a big block.

Thanks for listening, Rick
