69 Z convertible? [/ QUOTE ] I think he's referring to the Estes' '68...isn't he?. I'd believe more in the possibility of a '69 L89 Nova before a '69 Z28 rag?. ~ Pete

Re: 1970 L89 NOVA
I understand your position Chuck, and I agree with you. Yenko and Johnson certainly were not rookies when it came to ordering special combinations.
This particular car has more potential for being real than any other story I've heard - so we'll have to wait and see, so far it looks promising. The best answer would be that it's an unknown COPO #

Re: 1970 L89 NOVA
Marlin, Look at it this way. If you want to join a midget bowling league in your area,do you ask Charley,Jeff,or Belair where to go when you know darn well belair has been used to getting chucked down a few lanes in his day???

Re: 1970 L89 NOVA
Question for mr. Johnson. Did GM say why you couldn't order an L89 nova. I've not been able to understand the reason why it wasn't offered. If it was available in camaros, and chevelles, and of course corvettes, why not novas. This isn't an argument either pro, or con, but a question as to why, or why not.

Surely the corvette never had any motor bigger than the Ls5 available that year so it wasnt even available with iron squareports let alone aluminum .
