dont know whether an L89 Nova was available nor do I know Bob Johnson personally. I will say that if Don Yenko was posting on this board right now and said there were no L89 novas available to him in 1969 youd certainly take that as fact,and Bob is the best person probably left to make these statements . Not saying anything that Bob says should be taken as fact, but i think based on his past at Scuncio and Bob Johnson Racing he may be one of the most knowledgable on this based on experience. In the day when most of us were riding our bikes to school, you should give him the benefit of the doubt especially when no certain proof of a real car has surfaced yet . He didnt work at "Mom and Pops" Chevrolet after all, and if it was available at the time HE probably would have gotten one if for nothing else the fact he ordered EVERYTHING else. He may be the best person to speak to regarding what was and how things got done back then.Just my opinion of course.
