Re: Jeff-San's Awesome 1969 L78 Nova!
Jeff made a great find with this time capsule...the little details like the kickdown switch and idle solenoid are very unique...these cars very seldom make it this many years without a lot of changes. The car is also equipped pretty nicely for an L78....my guess on the wheels is it was a steel wheel car and someone upgraded to the SS magnums...but you never know...looking forward to seeing it in person someday...congratualtions

Re: Jeff-San's Awesome 1969 L78 Nova!
Jeff, thanks so much for sharing your wonderful unrestored L78 with us. Also, thanks for being so patient (and understanding) with me...wanting to share it in the Members Rides section.
A Nova was my first car...and they are still one of my favorite Chevies! Awesome car...'nuff said!

Re: Jeff-San's Awesome 1969 L78 Nova!
Sam...I've been driving the car and having a blast with it. I took the tranny out and had it rebuilt. I also did a little scrubbing and cleaning during the down time. Now it screams without slipping between gears.
The car was shot and supposedly slated to be in an upcoming Musclecar book....who knows if it'll make the final cut. What I thought would be an simple process turned out to be a 5 hour shoot. I was the guys B***H but I had a blast helping him. No new pictures of it yet but if what I saw on my laptop makes it into the book, it'll really do the car justice. I was very pleased.

Re: Jeff-San's Awesome 1969 L78 Nova!
In all my years I have never seen this color combo and its a bucket seat auto car to boot. What a killer survivor car. That is the nicest L78 nova I have ever seen. You are one lucky guy to own it. Wish I could have it. Is it for sale?
