If I owned the car... I would not post the paperwork on a public forum for all those who would want to "repo" it...
..if someone is truly interested in the information...as rare as this car would be...would find the time in their busy day to talk directly with the owner and personaly "look" at the documentation.
..I think it is a great find.

[/ QUOTE ] Not too much different from an L89 buildsheet to an L78 except a different code where an L78 JH would be and a different spring code.,if anyone wanted to "fake" a car,all theyd need is an L78 buildsheet to compare it with,so there is no harm in posting it.

i have been following this thread and i feel the owner does not need to post any proof. anybody doubting the cars authenticity...too bad for you.

I spoke with the expert that flew up to Canada to inspect it at Legendary. He might or might not chime in here but basically what he expected was to prove it was a fake but everything he inspected told him it was real. I believe it was a crusty old engine and they even had cameras rolling when they pulled the heads to check the broach marks. Everything was right. Pretty cool car that I believe is real. Even the owner wanted it proved or disproved before he spent all the dough on the resto.

Did anyone catch the name of the original selling dealership?
Curious if it was a well known Hi-po or Mom n' Pop.

As some of you know, if the owner has just the buildsheet (not the full broadcast sheet)It would not show the engine designation/suffix. It was there for 69 Nova's but not there for 70. Full broadcast sheets are very rare in Novas.

What would be a price on this car if its real, and only one made?

At York, I heard about this car and everything that Charley posted above is correct. The expert went to debunk the car and prove it was fake but it turned out to be real. The expert has no ties to or interests in the car so I believe them.

Cool find...I do believe there are another 3 or 4 other L89 Novas out there. As far as the price goes, that's a good question. If this car trades it would establish the bench mark.
