Re: 1969 L78 Nova SS 7k Miles
So according to the ad, there are 2 discrepencies. Davis vs Evans and M20 vs M22. I contacted the seller with 2 questions and am awaiting an answer. Most drag cars had the orig. drivetrains replaced very early in life. So...HVYCHVY is it your opinion that this is a 7K mile restore or a fake?

Re: 1969 L78 Nova SS 7k Miles
I spoke to Larry numerous times about this car when he first got it...he had lots of L78 Nova questions. I never really understood the condition of the car compared to the stated low mileage. He was a good "car guy" and really loved the hobby...
It would have been fun to have met him in person. He is probably watching the auction from a cloud

Re: 1969 L78 Nova SS 7k Miles

Now M22 matching was M20 when Larry purchased??? HVYCHVY you saw the car prior to restoration. In your opinion was it a survivor or a rolled over odometer that rested in the weeds for several years?

Re: 1969 L78 Nova SS 7k Miles
You can't go by the buildsheet M20 code...that was strictly a code to tell the Fisher Body guys they had to cut a hole in the floor. It was the same for M20, 21 or 22.....I didn't re-read the whole thread...perhaps there was some other info listed about the original tranny...chances are the car came with an M20...there were only about 600 M22 Novas built in 1969.
