Re: Special Paint/Hugger Orange 1969 L78 Nova
I have seen real nice ones in the $65,000 range. Seems like the 69 cars bring a little more. I think it is a good decision not to restore your car. Those changes we all made to our cars in those days. After all we did not buy these cars for comfort or gas mileage but to RACE!

Re: Special Paint/Hugger Orange 1969 L78 Nova
Restoration values are very subjective...there have been dozens, if not more "frame-off restoration" L78 Novas for sale on various forums and websites over the last few years. The true difference in these cars is "who did the resto"...it's that simple. The name shops and/or individuals that have a great attention to detail turn out a superior product. You all know who they are...There are lots of cars out there that have been restored by ABC Autobody of Anywhere, USA....it is easy to spot these in the crowd. The most important parts of a quality resto are the things you don't see at the first glance...the devil is in the details. Pay your money and take your choice...

McDonald is less than 15 miles from Canonsburg and about the same from Colussey Chev. in Bridgeville!
