I think they made a L89 Nova...

Most of us think so too, just have never seen a documented one

I just think the numbers from Chevrolet that say 311 Nova's with L89 and 311 Camaro's with L89 say that something isn't right. It could be a coincidence but I think it's probably a mistake by Chevrolet(or Tonawanda).

Isn't the 311 quantity for 1969 cars....we're talking about 1970 model year production cars now aren't we? . When doing the 'homework' keep in mind the confusion w/ the extended '69 model production also the change to three digit 'C' suffixes for '70. ~ Pete

We'd be happy to find an L89 Nova from either '68-'69-or'70! We believe the 311 number only pertains to '69 Camaros.

I know someone who has a 70 black L-89 nova that is having the engine compartment freshened up. I don't remember what he said he had for paper work. Is it real I don't know I've not seen it. It is in a shop east of the mississippi. I'm surprised nothing has been said about this car before

Hmmm... East of the Missi? That narrows it down (The one in NJ? It was at the Nova show in AC last Sept.)

If i recall, the owner of the car forgot to bring along any paperwork to prove the car was originally an L89.

Did you see it Marlin? What were your thoughts? I didn't want to be too specific(sp?) as I don't know if the owner wanted that known.
Did you ask him about documentation? And finally was he from NY?
Thanks, just curious.
Rich.
