L89 Nova???????

After awhile you have to look at the truth. It's about time you came around to my thinking.

As stated in other threads I've always wanted to be an L89 Nova believer but have to admit the more we debate it, the closer I am to lining up for a ticket on Howie's bus..

What was it Bob Johnston had to say in past threads on this subject...didn't he say he tried to place orders and it was a no-go?.

Truth is a matter of interpretation of the evidence presented to you. Rarely is it a absolute. Especially if you're a politician.
While we may agree on some points, I think the chances of my thinking like you in respect to most things may need another day......or two.
Note to Ia. DOT: Please install blow tube ignition lock on previously mentioned bus registered to one K. Howie, and a digital smoke detector for varification of non smoking code compliance. Addendum: optional GPS system to monitor possible tavern stops. Enjoy your trip on the Howie magic bus.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that whole article was about 90% BS...hood story included.

Don't think you are off base in the slightest. When a buff mag does a piece on a car built a quarter century earlier that perpetuates myth it is irresponsible journalisim. It might not mean much to the 90% of people reading the article for the pure fictional aspect,but to the 10% of core enthusiasts(that are members here) the passion is in seeking truth.

Obviously with no factory support it's been open season for forty years of grey,unfortuately the battle will never end. The "GM did strange things back then" all encompassing black hole that includes aluminum head cars,4spd LS5 monte carlos,nov built LS6 chevelles,etc has made it frustating love with these,and ripe for fraud.

No (real)docs,no dice JMO

And......How do you tell "Real" doc's anymore....These "Holy Grail" cars that fall out of the sky with some Documentation that nobody get's to look at(Not that I would know real paperwork anyway)...... In my unsophisticated point of view......tracking, verifying and documenting the prior ownership would be another piece of the Puzzle to establishing credibility for the 1 of 1 cars that "Just" show up one day.....Just my $.02
If I had one of the Holy Grail cars I would going overboard to "Prove" the authenticity and Pedigree of the Vehicle rather than just say "Believe Me"......It's easy to put a L-89 car together..........
