Re: 1970 L89 NOVA
[ QUOTE ]
.... I will say that if Don Yenko was posting on this board right now and said there were no L89 novas available to him in 1969 youd certainly take that as fact..... [/ QUOTE ] Nope!! I have seen enough of Don's tall tales in print, and the claims of productions figures.... (there were 500 Yenko Camaros remember? He also claims to have sold a few hundred Deuces!) I wouldn't believe a L89 Nova statement like that from him.

Re: 1970 L89 NOVA

Re: 1970 L89 NOVA
while Burr is still here I'll post that he doesn't ever remember any L89 Nova's. The 2 I were thinking of were both iron head 396. The interesting one he does clearly remember is a '69 L89 El Camino that ended up being totaled with 268 miles on it just outside Rimersburg, PA. Car went to Sharon Auto Wrecking.

69 Z convertible? [/ QUOTE ] I think he's referring to the Estes' '68...isn't he?. I'd believe more in the possibility of a '69 L89 Nova before a '69 Z28 rag?. ~ Pete

Re: 1970 L89 NOVA
I understand your position Chuck, and I agree with you. Yenko and Johnson certainly were not rookies when it came to ordering special combinations.
This particular car has more potential for being real than any other story I've heard - so we'll have to wait and see, so far it looks promising. The best answer would be that it's an unknown COPO #
