never built or sold....

that is a pretty strong statement.

It is a strong statement and one i'm sticking to,the car was never build. I don't mean to offend any one but if some one has paper work for a 1970 L89 Nova,its fake.

They used to say that about LS6 convertibles and COPO Chevelles too; nothing was impossible back in the day.

HiPerf...Unless you have the GM records you are sounding kind of silly. You are stating that they were never built as fact when in fact you have nothing to prove it as fact.

I don't have anything form GM saying that they were never built if thats what your asking. If you walked in to any Chevrolet dealer in 69 or 70 and wanted to order a L89 Nova they would tell you its not possible. I tryed to order a L89 Nova from Chevrolet in 1969 and could not get one. It was just not built,i'm sorry that its to hard to beleave. I could get just about any option on any car,but the L89 in a Nova. If you have paper work to prove an L89 Nova was built,there are many that would like to see it.

Did any Novas get converted to L89 at your dealership for customers or for stock after you found out you couldnt get one direct from GM?

Well, if you went into most dealers in 1969 they would also tell you it was not possible to order a 427 in a Camaro or Chevelle also. I guess they did not make any.

I was the one trying to buy the cars from Chevrolet,not the dealership. I could get you as many 427 Camaro's or Chevelle's you wanted in 69,those cars were easy to come by,Chevrolet made lots of them.

When I was shopping for my Chevelle, four of the six dealers I talked to told me there was no such thing as a 450 HP 454 in a Chevelle. That was in late April/early May of 1970! (They also told me I couldn't get an LT-1 in a Nova!)

Like I said earlier in this thread, I have little knowledge of Novas, but I DO know this may well be another of those deals where you avoid those two dreaded words............. - ALWAYS and NEVER!

We would install anything that could not be ordered from the factory on any car.
