Ken,
I know this punk who calls himself "AmuseMe", in fact he was in LaHarpe with us and spends WAY too much time at my house! ![]() ![]() (His Dad is a Ford guy so don't put too much faith in anything he says....... ![]() ![]() He's right about the Nova though. I'm pretty sure it's a '69, and I think it's still with the original owner. We both need to do some checking on that car. As for the dragstrip; Jeff (amuseme) grew up there. (And NO, I didn't own it!) He's seen more horsepower than most of us "Ol' Farts" so he really does know what he's talking about. He currently has a #'s matching '69 Z and a '32 Hiboy that could be pretty cool if he EVER FINISHES IT. ![]()

Hey Budnate. Was that L-89 Nova Blue with Low Mileage and I think a Black Bench interior. Because their used too be a guy Named Rick Aspertarte, that had all his Cars taken by King County in 2004. He had L-78 Camaros, LS-6 Chevelles and L-89 Novas and Camaros and Chevelles.

Mike [/ QUOTE ] memory is a little fuzzy, but I think this guy said it was a green one and the right front fender was bent but otherwise near perfect and it had silly low miles, he also had what sounded like a nice 69 Z, he wanted the smog stuff I had for it, I even rang his cell a couple times later on trying to follow up on the car but he never answered or called back... ![]() for some reason the Rick thing dont ring a bell....could be though it was about this time last year when the guy called me wanting a fender for it...wish he would have stayed in touch I wanted to see the Nova real bad!!! did the cars sell right away???...they usually take nice stuff store it poorly while it goes through court then want top dollar for edgy stuff later...morons!! |

Knew a guy in So. Ill. circa '79-'80 w/'69 Blue/Black vinyl, black bench, 4spd, taxi mat Nova which was a supposed L-89 . Never saw paper on it. Most of us didn't chase that stuff so much back then. But not a lot of folks referenced L-89's much then, either. Car had black rims w/no caps, Hookers and an L-88 cam. No dog. Jeff Gibula (sp?) was the fellow's name, worked w/a guy named Jim, as I recall, who had a few cool Chevy's he scored from Classic Motors of Hinsdale and a pretty nice '64 Goat I'd seen at auction at O'Hare Expo Center a few years prior. Haven't come across a '70 COPO 427 Nova, yet.

Tenney,
-----Pretty sure the Goat was red with black vinyl top and interior. It was a pretty fair car, although I didnt appreciate it at the time. Used it as my driver for a bit. What Chevys did this fella buy from us??? Would be interested in knowing. Please dont mind if I dont get back on here for a week or so as I am going to Dallas tomorrow to deliver a car.........Bill S |

I recognized the Goat as a Classic Motors car, Bill. He pointed out a few '09's, as well. A red '61 SS. A light blue '62 Impala non-SS. A Black '64 340 horse low-miler w/white guts and red carpets/non-padded dash. Kind of a bronze '61 Biscayne. It was all for sale. And he spoke of the green LS-6 I'd seen in the showroom in Hinsdale, though didn't have it "in stock".
Btw, Jeff's "L-89" Nova was out of Tinley, should anyone recall it. We were all down south for some higher learning, at the time. |

--------My buddy, Bob S, who works over at Chicago Corvette for Al F will bust a nut when he hears that the 64 still exists. We had all heard that the car had been totalled back in the day. Can you find out if it can be bought? Bob still talks about that thing about every time we are together and if I could tell him how to get it at least he might shut up, LOL!!! I really think he would go after it if it was available. He##, Id go after it. The car was a nice piece........Bill S

A friend, Carl B, bought the '64. Again, this was around '79-'80. Swapped it back a year or so later to the fellow in So. Ill. (Jim?) for the blue '62, which he still owns. Haven't heard of the '64, or it's whereabouts, since. Car was totally original (around 30K on the clock, I think) and drove like new. If it's anything like it was, can see how it'd be worth tracking down.
