Default Re: 1969 SS 396/375 HP Nova I found 50 miles from home

Hi Mark I just thought I would let you know I helped restore that car last winter. The fellow I helped restore the car with lived in Brantford Ontario. Not only did I help with the resto but the car was originally sold by my brother-inlaw Keith McClure who owned the dealership in Wingham . Funny thing is Keiths nephew picked up a 1968 chevelle with a 396 and M-22 the same day. The chevelle is still around the city with less tahn 16,000 miles and original paint.

Mark,

Congratulations on a great looking real car you've got there, it looks like a keeper. I love the color combination also. That car reminds me of my '70 Big Block Nova, although not numbers matching or original but it too had a nasty big block with a 4 spd and bench seat. I might just have to cruise down to the OC to check it out.

Bart...make sure that you take the time to go meet up with Mark. He's a cool guy. We went to the Donut cruise down by the beach a year or two ago...

Bart you are welcome anytime. Jeff private mail me on another black on black 1969 SS396-375hp Nova automatic that is down in the San Diego area. It is in real nice condition with a build sheet and is mostly numbers matching. The guy wanted $45K.

WOW! M-E-R-R-Y C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S my friend!

I grew up in Chester, Pa and my one of my best friends had the 69 Nova SS/L78 with the Turbo400...column mounted and vinyl floors WITH a bench seat!! It was Dark Green
He ran ALL the time at Cecil County in MD; C/SA. That thing would up-shift from 1st to 2nd by itself, then he manually upshifted it from 2nd to 3rd. GOD......I wish I knew if the car is still around. The owner back then was Bruce Graf
