Default Re: '70 Nova L78 project on eBay w/ MacNeish docs

I would really key off of the clues in your description, the rad support, heater box, 4speed speedo location, trans crossmember, engine mounts, pwr disc brakes, especially the high redline tach, and the unique wire harness for the gauge cars, the special holes in the tunnel and special interior heater box for console cars, hype the buckets and deluxe interior, tear that back seat apart for a broadcast sheet in order to nail down the options. Also, take a good pic of the dual exhaust plate, the 5 leaf springs and the rear code.

That is a good color code, and a nicely optioned car. I would also suggest to add a picture of a restored car in that color, Terry Wolf in NY has a twin to it so we'll see if we can't dig up a pic of his car.

I can't tell from looking at the pics if the car has the drip rail option, but I think I see one piece on the passenger side pillar. Otherwise, open one of the doors, and look at the pinchweld right by the latch for a covered up hole. The door portion of the body side molding was held on with clips/studs, except for the ends where there was either a stud or a screw that came through the pinchwelds at either end of the molding. So, when folks remove this option, they grind off the studs, and fill in these two holes leaving the clues. Also, the 1/4 panel portion of the body side molding has a hole at the ends by the tailights, that hole is also usually visible after removal. Otherwise, check the rockers for the dual moldings, similar to Camaros.
