Infamous as in they supposedly existed, but nobody had seen them. They have now obviously been "outed" and the car is real

My wife and I sat with the owner and the guy from Legendary Motorcars that was restoring the car at the SCR10 banquet/dinner.Both of them were very nice to talk to.They said that the car was going back to the shop to fix some little stuff that needed attention.I thought the car was really nice at the show.It's worth the price of admission to Vettefest to see this car.

If you are ever near Milton, Ontario, it's well worth the time to stop into Legendary. After about an hour you get complacent to the amount of rare cars there. "Ho hum-a Hemi here, a Yenko there.."

Apparently there were 6 made




1970 Chevrolet Nova SS 396 L89
1970 CHEVROLET NOVA SS 396 L89. 1of 6 produced by General Motors. There is one other known car that has survived. This SS L89 Nova is a numbers matching car backed by its warranty protecto plate book, original owners manual, brochures, and literature. Body off restored to its original chalk markings. Equipped with its 396/375 hp L-89 packaged motor with a Muncie M-21 4 speed, 12 bolt rear end with a 4:10 rear end gear ratio. Cortez Silver, Black interior, bench seat, radio delete, black vinyl top, expressed clearly on the trim tag. The car is tailored with its vintage correct optional 14" SS wheels, with polyglass Goodyear tires. Maintains its rear original quarters clearly visible coded correct. Valuable piece direct from GM and in my opinion as or more valuable than any Yenko out there.

Hmmmm.... "Valuable piece direct from GM and in my opinion as or more valuable than any Yenko out there." O.K. sure, then why not price it at, say, $350K. And pls educate me, does the "warranty POP" have the engine and drivetrain codes on it?
