Spoke to a guy who knows of a 70 L78 Nova. Trying to find out what its worth. These are the things I know at this moment. I'll believe it when I see it!! Laser straight, beautiful car. Bench seat, 4-speed, #'s matching engine , tranny and rear. Driven 15 miles since restoration. Citrus Green. Probably won't get a chance to see the car for a couple of weeks. Says original owner misplaced paperwork. Says its obvious it is what it is, if the right person goes over the car. That's certainly not me. I have an interest in this car. Especially because of the color. O.K. folks, what do you think. Patrick

Is this the one on the cover of MCR several years ago?

I don't know alot about the car as of yet. I got a call from a friend who has seen it. Says its the real deal. I doubt this car has been in any magazines. From what I understand about the owner, he's not a guy who talks much or shows his cars. Can anyone give me some advice. I'll be able to see the car in a few weeks. Its in storage. What are the experts thoughts on this car without paperwork. When I say experts, I'm referring to those who know alot more than most about these cars. I thought the color sounded really cool!!

If there's no paperwork, check the block pad very carefully for the correct suffix code. Then look for the other SS & BB specific items for the Novas, shouldn't be too hard to determine if it's the proper pedigree.

Here's the best place to go for the BB info:

Don't forget to look for the swaybar, or at least the hanger brackets that are welded to the underside above the rearend. If it's an SS, they should be there.

[/ QUOTE ] I was wondering where you got the info that all 1970 SS Novas came with a rear sway bar?
