Jasons is a rare 3speed l79

I sure do! The 3 speed was factory default, you had to up grade to a 4 speed. It was an option. Actually my 3 speed is a borg warner heavy duty 3 speed M13. Only 317 Novas got this transmission in 1968. It is actually dated April of 1967. It had to of been a left over from the 67 model year since my 68 L79 is a June built car. Very cool and rare cars! I think only 16 or so are acounted for.

Jason </div></div>Buick Daily car reports say that 1 1970 stage 1 convertible was a 3 speed. Although, a second one has now been documented. The original owner probabaly wanted to tow his/her boat [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] Or save the $58 bucks !

looks like a real decent car for that money. I bet that is Brooklyn Heavy's car carrier in the background.

Many of us are convinced that Dan has the first L-88 Motion Nova that Joel built. Orig Sequoia Green and repainted Black by Batt Auto Body and still shows evidence of Phase III stripes &amp; Motion tow tabs.

Has that been verified by Joel?

Here are some photos of the truck you see.




I forget the story on the truck, but it would be a great piece restored. Dan claimed it to be Brooklyn Heavy's truck or someone elses or possibly someone else's or someone else'e. I don't remember exactly. The story was long, but an interesting one. Either way, the truck is cool.

Thanks, A restorer friend of mine have done a couple of these for a customer. As well as one of the 234 350hp versions. I was just curious.
