Re: Tom Williams' Marine Corp L78 Nova
A little more info on the Marine Corp car: This car was at the Nova Nationals this past summer in Atlanta and earned a Gold class certificate, Best in Class and Best in Show. We decorated the car with Marine corp memorabilia and photos of the original owner. Karen and I are very grateful to Wayne Bushey and staff at National Nostalgic Nova and our friend Tony "the greek", for helping us with this project. We are planning on installing the original steel wheels and dog dish caps this spring. May bring this car to the York Show in July. Many thanks for all the kind words from this site we appreciate it.
Tom & Karen

Re: Tom Williams' Marine Corp L78 Nova
tom i was reading your comments on 70 nova rear f41 sway bars on a 70 nova. did all 70 nova l78 have them? If not were the welded brackets still installed in the trunk pan FROM THE FACTORY but not used? I have a 70 l78 with the original block and vin that matches it. the trunk was replaced with out brackets so i dont know if it had the f41 rear sway package. I dont want to buy the car if I CANT RESTORE IT CORRECTLY. So were the brackets installed in all l78 nova trunks weather or not the rear sway bar package was installed? thanks bob 708- 990- 4069

Re: Tom Williams' Marine Corp L78 Nova
Bob...the F41 suspension rear swaybar was not available early in the model year. It made its debut sometime in the spring of 1970......as for the welded brackets, they were only installed if this option was chosen. Also, this option was not an "L78 only item"...it could be ordered on small block SS models as well.
So, what is the build date of your car?...if it is an early car then don't worry. Here is a link to the Nova Resource site it gives a little more info: http://www.novaresource.org/rpo_F41.htm wilma

Re: Tom Williams' Marine Corp L78 Nova
The brackets were only installed IF the F41 bar was ordered and the car had to be built after Jan 70, when the option became available. SULLY
