Default Re: 1 of 6 L89 Nova? Opinions Appreciated.

So, does anyone here think it is the read-deal L89 or not?

Seriously.........Building a L-89 Nova is easy, as is getting a restamped Block, as is getting Bogus documentation......what's a little harder is getting a "Documented" History of the car......Just for what it's worth.....In having a conversation with a owner of a "Claimed" L-89 Nova......I asked this Question....."Did you ever get in contact with the previous owners to verify the car"..........the response was...."I called ....But..they never called back"..........Makes a Guy wonder??........
Documented History is everything......These cars just don't fall out of the Sky!! Just my $.02

Ahhhh, but if you read earlier posts, I am a member of the "e-bay idiots club", therefore common sense does not apply!

The date of the CBW rear is really not possible - it's a Deuce code and nothing was produced yet in March....

I can't quite make out the interior, but it looks like deluxe seat covers with the plain jane door panels....does it have carpeting..?? was there any trim tag info..??

anyway, nice looking car...I'd like to see the time slips for those 12 second 1/4's...

I'll let Kwhizz handle the originality discussion....since he has an L-89 he know's the "real thing" when he sees it

ps..anybody wanna a big block Nova without aluminum heads..
