New guy to the site and by no means do I consider myself a serious collector (yet). I’m drawn to 70 Chevys; currently owning a beautiful 70 Nova SS clone and just bought what I hope be a very nice; matching 70 L78 Nova. No protecto plate or build sheet so I’ve spent several hours decoding everything within reason. Not having the time to travel half way across the country to inspect it myself, I located a Concours show judge/appraiser to inspect the car on my behalf before purchasing it (who rates it as a 950 point car and his guess is that it’s all “born with” and date correct). The car is being shipped sight unseen as we speak. I’m requesting anyone to scrutinize the following codes to further enlighten me, make me a fool or point out potential discrepancies. In return I promise to report back to you truthfully with several pic’s when it the car arrives.
Trim Tag: 8T70 11427WRN273410 1-Chev 14-Nova 27-2 Door Sport Coupe WRN- Willow Run, Michigan plant 273410- Sequence built TR 733-Black vinyl bucket 48 B PNT (paint code) 48- Forest Green B- Vinyl top 04B (build code) 04-April B- 2nd week VIN# 114270W309435 Eng.

Manifolds: 3916178 3909879 Intake #; 3963569 Trans. #: 449, 70, CF Water Pump #: 3969811 OER Battery: Delco Remy R-59 OCV 10 Rear Axle# CBS 04 15 G 2 Carrier number 3968341 Alt. #- 1100837 0A6 (Jan 6 1970) Dist. #- 1112000 0B24 (0=1970, B24= Feb. 24) One thing that strikes me as odd is the rear axle: I’ve been told by more than one Nova-Nut that the trim tag may have been issued early in this case and that it is quite likely the correct axle; especially considering that Willow run is 1 hr away from Detroit. Have at it gents:
