John P's is worth considering IMO....

I am looking at trading my 1970 Hemi GTX 4-speed (listed in the Supercars for sale section) for it plus cash, so it would have to be this one.

Do they have the Canadian docs posted up somewhere? I'm not seeing them. Still interested in what the rear is from original.

I don't think that Canadian docs will show the rear information you are looking for.. I got Canadian docs once from George Z on a supposed Z28 I was thinking on buying.....Turns out it was a former 327 / auto Camaro cloned as a Z28. Those docs made no mention of the rear option code on the Camaro.

The Canadian paperwork is a big plus but not everything. I would think that if the car had the original drive train they would have mentioned it in the ad. That will be a big deal when you go to sell it. From my past expereince I would want to look at the car real close in person before I buy it because these cars were not always special and a car from Canada may of had a tough life and it will show on the underside. From my own experince I would not recomend buying a L78 Nova unless it has <span style="text-decoration: underline">all the original paperwork and the original drivetrain from the factory. </span>

If you are looking for a nice Nova, check out this one on E-Bay (Item number:190563971180).. I believe the owner, Jason, is a member on the site here..

In my opinion this car is KICK A$$.. I love 68 big block cars.. I like this one much better than the 69....

This one is also very nice.. Gotta love white!!

Item number: 190563455826

I would say that Legendary's expertise in Nova's is questionable..........
