Earlier I posted the picture above, of the “King Rat’. Because the photo has a great story on how I acquired it, I thought it should be shared with you.

As most of you are aware, this past summer a new service became available from the NCRS, where they may be able to provide for certain GM VINs, production build dates along with dealer information. A short while after sending the VIN for my 69 Nova SS L78, I received my document. It stated dealer code 716 and zone 4, which equates to RAPP Chevrolet, in Marion SD. The story gets better, to find the dealer still in business that started 75 years ago!! After sending them an email inquiring about my car, I received a call from Mr. Rapp. The story gets better, as he was able to provide me with a copy of the original invoice!!! And better yet, Mr. Rapp is still in contact with the person who they sold the Nova to new and also passed on his contact information. I spoke with the original owner several times and we’ve shared lots of information about the car. He was also so kind to send photos.

As a side note, Mr. Rapp is also the owner of the Thunder Valley Dragways in Marion SD, where most of the miles were put on the Nova, ¼ mile at a time!!
