Please tell me the upper control arms, hood latch, wiper motor, and brake bracket items are no longer chrome? It appears to missing a key nut on the core support as well, but it might be the angle of the photo.

It would clear a lot of fog if you could post some pics of the requested items, as of now it appears that the L78 claim is in question.

I would have to agree, under the circumstances, there has been a lot of restraint. Am I wrong, or is the primary focus of this site education and preservation? Getting to list items for sale (for free!) is just a bonus, albeit one for which I am grateful. I have been able to find buyers for some rare parts on this site, but also ERRONEOUSLY listed one item as something it was not. I was quickly educated and was APRECIATIVE of the education. So my part wasn't worth what I thought it was. Big deal. I got an education.

When you list something here, especially "one of 311", you should expect some scrutiny. AND I for one, don't think the thickness of your wallet should determine whether you can take part in the educational process of that scrutiny.

JMHO.

It must be L89 week, ive seen 5/6 cars for sale this week alone,and about 40 references to heads and parts being on only 311 cars and L89 specific . I guess one jerk pays too much for his car on ebay last month and this is the result

in my opinion having a nice original L-78 nova would be very nice. i guess it's human nature to want to own some of the rarest production cars. in the end, it is what it is.
