It sounds like you've got a neat car to work with.

Tom has pretty much listed the items to look for. One other thing to look at is the fuel line configuration... is it one single large 3/8? One large 3/8 and a smaller one next to it? One smaller one, like 5/16?

Allen, thanks for the pic. This was exactly what I was looking for. I don't know about the fuel lines. I haven't been under the car yet and it has an aftermarket fuel pump. I need to go under there and look for dual fuel lines (or bigger clips with one line), transmission xmember, and original exhaust hangars. Thanks for the pics and I'll keep you posted. Marc

I think you've answered your own questions if you've got the invoice for the car, sounds like the real deal to me. I wouldn't worry too much about the core support, it sounds like the BB version.

Check the rear frame rail for the dual exhaust plate and look above the rear at the floor boards to see if the car has the rear sway bar supports welded into the floors - only SS cars and Yenko Deuces got them.

Welcome to NNN - great club! You will have to bring the car to Super Chevy NH and to North Country Nova's annual 'Nova Day' Epping.

YDR, That attachment I posted is only a copy of what the seller told me was the original invoice. He claims to have bought the car with that copy included. If I had THE original invoice I would breathe easier. But nobody here has ever even heard of Charlie Collins Chevrolet. That's a whole bunch of sharp chevy guys for this place never to be heard of. I've considered trying to contact the original owner. I got that idea from another post here. I wish Chevy had something like PHS where they could (for a fee) take your VIN# and tell you what you have. As I told Wilmasboy, I love the car and will never regret buying it but it would be nice to know I've got a real BB SS before someone with some real knowledge puts my foot in my mouth.

Ok, that is a bummer, I thought you had the original copy of the invoice. I would definitely try to contact the original owner, or a family member. I had a co-worker walk in one day with a POP from a '70 Nova that her aunt bought new. She stumbled onto it and thought I might like it! You never know, keep diggin

It certainly sounds like the real deal to me. Let us know about the trans crossmember and the fuel line.

I stumbled onto a guy in an alley changing a wheel on a '72 Nova yesterday. Inside the storage rental unit was a '70 L34, a/t, 12 bolt posi, w/ buckets, non-gauge console, 2 exterior moldings, F41, and a - - paint code! You never know what's hiding!

Would the 69's have the sway bar mounts? Marc if you pull out the top of the back seat you may find the build sheet and on a 1969 it would have the engine code. m
