Default Re: Another L89 nova with doc's

Got anything concrete to prove that car was a factory built L-89? Neat pictures, but nothing there to prove there was ever a L-89 Nova built.

Howie may be right, no L-89 Novas built.

Well actually there was a couple photos that I didn't send out, but to frank, I've had it with this whole L-89 Nova subject. In a court of law, my word would be enough on the stand, but people here still have doubts. Just because they have never seen one, they doubt their existence. Many feel the same way about God but still built churches. I have already seen this window sticker, I had my doubts 'til I seen it and I had my proof. I really don't need to see it again and to be honest, I don't want to harass the man anymore. Especially for people that will STILL come up with a counter-arguement. I thought that (black?)car at the 2008 SCR had bulletproof docs.

If it means anything Mark, I have way more faith in your L89 Nova story than either of the cars that have surfaced!.

On the black car, wasn't its pedigree based solely on a supposedly original POP?.

Well Tom, it was NOT 40 years ago and I don't know where you got that from. I acquired those photos and seen that window sticker FIVE years ago, so it's still pretty fresh in my mind. He took the window sticker and pictures home that day, told me I could have them a couple days later after seeing all my enthusiasm about them, but only brought the photos back and said next time he runs across the sticker, I could have that too. Well, we worked together another two years and I asked him at least TWICE a week, every week for two years to no avail. I'm sure I was a pain in his ass. I'm convinced he just wants to keep it, or something bad happened to it like thrown away on a stack on newspapers or something. I've seen it, and that's good enough for me and the few others that actually trust my credibility. To those that don't, they can go to Hell (if that exists, nobody has seen it either). He first described the car to me as a Nova SS 396 that he had purchased new and didn't even have an inkling of how rare that car might be. He didn't even mention the aluminum heads to me until the day he handed me the sticker/photos. He really had no idea what he owned was so special 'til I told him.

What exactly do the photos show? Any motor shots?

Mark,
I'm a firm believer that we should avoid the always/never line of thinking so I accept there's a chance these exist. I think it was Schonye who said he always thought 'IF' one appeared, he would expect it to be a '69 model, and I guess that's what I would have expected too. To hear of a '70 model with provenance is more of a surprise, at least to me.
Do you recall how it was designated on the window sticker? If you choose not to disclose it, or just don't care to discuss it any further I respect your decision.

Rather then take your ball and go home, why not prove everyone wrong with some sort of solid evidence. Afterall we are talking about one of a handful at most, so is it too much to ask for more then your word in regards to something you saw 40 years ago?
