Hey is that a berger emblem on the back of the car. I dont think its a yenko they stopped in 69 and I dont beleive there were any 70 nova 427 orderd from copo. Could it be a stock ss nova altered for customer by berger and is there such a thing as an ss berger 427 nova. Its still way cool like those dog dishes.

GM did not offer a 427 as a COPO or RPO in a Nova. ever. It would have to a dealer conversion. So if paper work was on the way why do you sell a possible 100,000 car for 20,000? The answer is you don't. If it does turn out to be a dealer conversion the seller should have done his home work before he put it on E-bay. Just my two cents worth. I like the old car, but the way people try to market their cars

It's possable that this car may not belong to the seller. You know the routine, "car was my son's, died in vietnam and kept the car until now...bla bla bla",. It could be an estate sale or maybe the guy just dosent know what he has. Some people ar'nt into the hobby and just walked into a dealership and said "i'll take that one", drove it enjoyed it and now want to sell it. They know it's worth something but don't want to take the time to find out just how much it's worth, they set a price they're comfortable with and thats that.
Hey it happens, you just never know. Thats whats interesting about these cars,...THE HISTORY |

That is a cool car. If it did turn out to be a dealer transplant that would be really sweet. But the fact that the car was restored in 96 means that anything could have changed and any clues to look for have probably been altered. But even if there is no history to the 427 swap, it looks like a fun car to own and drive.

Just got of the phone with the owner of the Nova SS. Great guy and answered all my questions with to hesitiation. He was at work, and didn't have the datecodes, casting dates, casting numbers for the engine, tranny, and rearend. He said he will call me when he gets them, either tonight or tomorrow. This is what he told me about the car.
1. Originally an SS350 2. Berger sticker in trunk 3. Berger sticker on fan shroud 4. On the firewall in writing GG BB 5. Engine is an early 454 with 427 parts 6. Block has been decked 7. Winters intake is on the 454, but has been painted orange. 8. Cowl tag info - 733 78R 10B A3 9. Large diameter fuel line That's all I have for now guys. I am just going to wait until he gets back to me with all the necessary numbers, date codes, casting numbers, casting dates, etc. He did agree with me that anything could have been added in 1996, when the car was restored. Will keep you updated. ![]()
