1970 L89 NOVA

[Schonyenko2]

That's a good point although I believe his name is know as it should be on the POP that came with the car.
I think it's the real deal, although I'm kinda surprised it was a 70. I'd have bet on a 68, or 69. There are documented 70 chevelles that have the 842 heads on LS 6s, so maybe not such a stretch. I'm still puzzled why GM didn't assign a code for the option on novas.
I think that at some point in time, if the boys from Legendary want to get the kind of money that this car probably deserves, all evidence will need to be brought forth openly. The original owner, individuals who inspected the car, all docs. With nothing hidden, and a verifiable no BS car, I think Charley's right. 200ks probably short. Find another one.
I do disagree on those side louvers being chrome though. I'd need to see the correct unpainted part nbr on them from day one to believe they weren't originally black/chrome edgeing.
