1970 COPO 427 Nova?!?

[Belair62]

I would still be looking real close at it anyway....definitely worth digging into if you've known the car a long time...

Easy Teach,remember your blood pressure! Only thing to say is never say "never","only" or "always",lots of execs and 427s left-over. Exibit A....Z28 convertible? never,only hardtops, always have fixed roofs!!! OOOPS!

When John Left GM it was over for the ONE off type, he was before your time!!!

I think Dennis Cumby,(OlG LS6) is from down around your area. Believe he worked at the drag strip there in White Hall. He's pretty sharp for an old guy. Maybe he could help you solve the mystery. Hell, Howie, and I will drive down if you need help solving the mystery. I still believe there were L89 novas built which hasn't been proven, and my good friend Mr. Howie doesn't believe. So you're getting both ends of impartial. Let us know if we can help.Be interesting to see what you've got there. Schonye

my 2 cents..last year when I had that goofy 4dr nova a local guy contacted me for some stuff..and claimed he had recently popped a 69 L-89 Nova from hiding with paper and it was from alan green chev...he was supposed to come by for some stuff and bring the paper on the car to look over...never heard back from him he seemed like a decent guy over the phone and new his cars...

Cumby owned and ran the track

Ken,

I know this punk who calls himself "AmuseMe", in fact he was in LaHarpe with us and spends WAY too much time at my house!

(His Dad is a Ford guy so don't put too much faith in anything he says....... )

He's right about the Nova though. I'm pretty sure it's a '69, and I think it's still with the original owner. We both need to do some checking on that car.

As for the dragstrip; Jeff (amuseme) grew up there. (And NO, I didn't own it!) He's seen more horsepower than most of us "Ol' Farts" so he really does know what he's talking about. He currently has a #'s matching '69 Z and a '32 Hiboy that could be pretty cool if he EVER FINISHES IT.

Hey Budnate. Was that L-89 Nova Blue with Low Mileage and I think a Black Bench interior. Because their used too be a guy Named Rick Aspertarte, that had all his Cars taken by King County in 2004. He had L-78 Camaros, LS-6 Chevelles and L-89 Novas and Camaros and Chevelles.

memory is a little fuzzy, but I think this guy said it was a green one and the right front fender was bent but otherwise near perfect and it had silly low miles, he also had what sounded like a nice 69 Z, he wanted the smog stuff I had for it, I even rang his cell a couple times later on trying to follow up on the car but he never answered or called back...

for some reason the Rick thing dont ring a bell....could be though it was about this time last year when the guy called me wanting a fender for it...wish he would have stayed in touch I wanted to see the Nova real bad!!!

did the cars sell right away???...they usually take nice stuff store it poorly while it goes through court then want top dollar for edgy stuff later...morons!!

[amuseme]

If I ever finish it? Somebody ask Dennis how long his '57 has been down!?!
