The AMA specification sheets that GM submitted for the Nova shows N/A regarding A/C on any factory BB Nova. The price sheets only show A/C for the standard V-8 (meaning 307) or the 350's. No BB. [/ QUOTE ]That may be the case for '68-'69, but in '70 I'm purty sure you could get A/C in a BB/auto combo... ![]()

If you have some evidence of a factory BB Nova with A/C, I'd love to see it. There was a 70 in TX for sale for a long time (aqua, BB L34, TH400), but no one could prove it to be the real deal. It kept getting passed from dealer to dealer. The last time I checked, the selling dealer wouldn't cough up any numbers on the block or anything else to help verify the car. The owner history trail led to Indiana, but I couldn't get a call-back on that lead. I supposed a person could have put a Camaro A/C heater box in one and create a car. If you have proof of a real one, please educate all of us Nova guys. Thanks! ![]()

The L34 was much rarer in '70 than the L78. Both 4 speeds and auto's were sold. A friend from college, Larry Ault, had an gobi beige/black bucket/console/loaded, auto L34, he bought it new from a So Fla dealer in approx April/May 1970.

Rear defrost is not too common, however, it was also an accessory item, so a lot of Novas had it added later.

It really was a Defogger.
Dealer acc. catalog shows it was not to be considered a heating unit. It was simply a fan that directed interior air upwards onto the glass to eliminate condensation before it freezes. No Heat element used,so it wasn't very efficient at melting ice.Not like todays wire heating elements. ![]() |

My 69 Nova has the original C50 option rear defroster. (Only installed on 6,165 Novas in 1969) Cost as per my window sticker was $22.15.
