Yes I know. The reason I showed it is because the poster was stating that the code was a Chevelle code ONLY but posted the list that show s the same code for the ChevyII or Nova.

[Carleen]

I just wanted to show that Chevelle and Nova has same code

[WILMASBOYL78]

This post leaves out the 2 most common codes for the L78 motor...CKO(4spd) and CTY(TH400).......I have never seen a CKQ HD clutch code on any Nova. But then, there's lots of stuff I haven't seen.

Dave said he could "Assure" us that the car is real.....yet hasn't responded to the two simple questions that were asked a couple of weeks ago........I'm sure he and others wish this thread would go away, but...His non-response to the questions either show that he doesn't want to respond......or...Can't......
"Again"....this is Nova "History".......But.....It seems that `he just wants us to take his word for it.....I'm sure if the guy's at Legendary fully understood the Head issue they might have questioned things a little more before claiming it as the only one in existance ....
Dave seems to be comfortable with the "Lack of verifiable History" and other documented items that could have doctored at some time in the cars past......I'm sure with the money that was spent on the resto was done in good faith.......But.......That doesn't validate or verify the cars true pedigree..........

I get the fact that you and others here are interested in all of this from a historial stand point and want to learn or confirm certain aspects. However, you need to understand that some sellers/owners don't necessarily share all of your passion or prefer to keep some of their business private. Continuing to post your dismay with the absence of the seller isn't going to get you anywhere. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, why don't you contact the seller personally to satisfy yourself?

[Pulnaway]

Darryl, I have contacted Dave and asked all of the relevent questions. Fact is he could not answer them or would nor answer them?...NOT ONE! I for one like to think that people are upfront and truthful...I did not leave our conversation feeling this way.

It's just two different posts combined with two different sources showing that two sets of "facts in print" exist.

Next time you go to a book store,see if they have a (Chevy By The Numbers)book and take a look in it.What you will find is CKT code is listed under Chevelle and not Camaro or Nova.All the other codes that they share are listed,but not the L89 code.That might explain why 18 1970 Chevelles were built with the L89 option per(MR70) and maybe one of one Nova.How many Camaros do you think were built??
