Hi Bruce,
I found this car in the Auto Trader on Saturday February 23,2008. Its a 1969 Nova SS 396/375(real),black on black(should have bench,which is on its way),auto on the colunm, original engine, BT 12 bolt rearend, AM/FM radio. I have all of the owner history, some original registrations, misc. paperwork, owner manual and the protecto plate. The motor,trans and rearend have been recently rebuilt. The body appears to have all of the original panels and is super straight and the paint is very nice with a few flaws.


Here's the story and why this car is special to me. This car was bought new from Berglund Chevrolet in Ashville, New York. It was than sold to a guy in Erie, Pa ( My home town !!!) in 1972 who owned it till 1996. He than sold it to another guy in Erie who owned it till 2000. That guy took the car to the Canfield, Ohio swapmeet. The car was sold to a close friend of mine that now lives in Ca. where I now live.My friend had it shipped to Ca.and I saw the car a few times. He than sold it in 2000/2001 to a guy in Ca. That was the last time we saw of the car till now.


The reason this car is special to me is that in November 1969 I was 19yrs old and order a new 1970 Nova SS 396/375, green on black, benchseat, auto on the colunm. My old Nova is in Erie,Pa., I've seen it, know the owner(he's owned it for over 30 yrs.), and i've been trying to buy it for the last 15 yrs. with no luck. So now I have the next best thing with this car that spent 28 yrs in Erie,Pa, my home town right where my 1970 Nova is today.


If anyone has any info on Berglund Chevrolet, knows of this car as it was raced at Norwalk (when ???) please contact me.



Thanks again Bruce,
