Wilma wasn't &quot;online&quot; yesterday...took a day off from the SYC Cyberworld...it looks like a cool old car...would love to see more of the details and photos...and yes, I would drive it as for awhile before doing anything serious...

With one exception: please do something with that fuel line...that flare nut setup scares me...too close to the fan...if that ever leaks while your driving..watch out...I would recommend a factory style line that comes up in the stock position..not a big fan of those universal Holley fuel lines...but, if the rubber connection is new...I can live with it...but, that current rig scares me!
Hope to learn more about this car...my first L78 car back in the day was green.

I've visited with Grim over at SNS I believe he has a Nottingham Green fire mist poly Cadillac color. Sans the -- on the trim tag. Not that unusual to find Caddy colors on special pnt applications.
I believe he has what he thinks he has. A special pnt L78 Nova.
Very cool.

Yes, we talked back when I was first getting ready to pull it out of the Barn again. Tom we talked too and Yes, that line is going. Bought a new carb and factory style line this winter.

I've been trying to trace this back. Had to Wi officers working behind the scenes to try and find something. I'm still waiting for my WI DMV to answer my request. With all these troubles finding something I wonder if I'm the first to register it for the street. Possibly it just went straight to the track? I've been running it around at several cruise nights and shows hoping that somebody remembers it. I haven't given up hope yet.

Anyway, here is some more pics. The pics below is what came on the car when I bought it in 1989. Otherwise, I have been able (lucky enough) to find all original BB parts that I was missing. I also did this without breaking the bank! Some has just fallen into my lap by chance and some has come with a lot of good people out there that are intrigued with my story and want to see me get it back to stock, well going to be more day 2.

Believe to be L-78. June 70 build. 4speed Bench with F-41 and - - Green.






There was a posi sticker there where the glue mark S is.
