Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIGINAL
Any documentation or has it been certified by any Nova guru's. Just like you don't want tire kickers, I don't want to go on any wild goose chases..

I don't believe a 'documented' L 89 Nova has ever surfaced. If there was one, Kim Howie would have found it.

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIGINAL
Have to agree with Jude, no one has ever produced a documented L89 Nova. Most "experts" say it wasn't available/produced, would love to be proven wrong!! SULLY

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIGINAL
So in your old thread you state the heads were dealer installed. That would exclude it from being one of the 311 that you state it is above. We questioned the L89 option because no documented L89 Nova has ever been found.

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIGINAL
Unlike my good friend Mr. Howie, I do think there may have been some L89 novas built. Problem is, I have a couple of smoking guns, but no bullets. To the best of my knowledge, no specific engine codes exist for a L89 nova. Most of the smoking gun info I've gotten point to dealer installed on delivery, but when the smoke clears, I've yet to find any verifiable documentation. Please share with us any verifiable evidence that you have. There's nothing I'd like better than to prove Mr. Howie wrong.

Re: 1969 NOVA SS L-89 ONE OF 311 UNRESTORED ORIGINAL
First, you might want to take your caps lock off. So you are saying the car was an original L-78 with dealer installed L-89 Aluminum heads? Do you have any supporting docs to confirm this? I remember this car a year or two ago selling out of Oklahoma I believe. Seems like a very nice car, just curious about the L-89 Aluminum heads.
