Also, this is the first time I have heard of a COPO Nova going up to Canada.

I believe it is one of 2 non-Yenko COPO Novas built in 1970, both of which went North across the border...which is good, because the original factory paperwork is still available, and attainable, on the Canadian cars. Unlike the rash of clone cars in some recent mags, this car is the real deal...

Well, obviously a VERY rare one indeed.
I am the second owner of my Nova SS. Bought it off the original owner back in '89 who coincidently ordered it from Central Chevy in Canada also. It's pretty much original. 350 - 300HP 4-Speed, w/4:10 12 bolt. The 1st owner Drag raced it for a while up in Canada when new and then proceeded to travel all across the Western US in it. He was a Tool and Die maker for Borg-Warner. That's how I came upon it. I worked with Him at one of Borg's divisions. Earlier this year I decided to do a full restoration on it so having a good source of information and feedback during this process is important to me. I want the car to be correct so I will be bouncing my thoughts off you guy's from time to time.
Thanks in advance.

Was it sold new at Central Chev/Olds in London, Ont?

They sold their share of hot rods. Also campained a '69 Z28.

Yes it was. I don't have much info relating to the purchase though. Just His word. The guy I bought it from back in '89 was not the kind of person that valued those kind of details. He bought the car to race and have fun with. No protecto and such. I plan a full restoration though. I am hoping to find the build sheet somewhere in the car. Any ideas where to look?
