My 8/70 731 standard int Orange car and the 9/69 Gray car, ZJ1, 375hp, console and no gauges, both have the same dash. no chrome around the speedo and out side edge. Both are original. m

Mark,
I would have thought that your gray '70 with the custom interior (buckets, woodgrain door panels, etc) would have also had the extra trim on the dash bezel. I guess nothing should be surprising with these cars.

Mark,
Your two 70 Novas are consistent with the yenko deuces, which all have the ZJ3 option.

Allen,
Your '70 has the chrome on the speedo surround?

My '69 SS with buckets, custom interior, ZJ3, but no guages, only has the chrome on the bottom sides!

I will check my original dash bezel on my 70 L78 with deluxe bench interior,as I have it to have it sent out to be done. Sully

Allen, it's a little suprising to me also but it's never been out and this car also has the Nova on the door panels. The second owner has pics of the car when it is 5 months old and it has the wood insert on the wheel. Who knows what the line workers at Willow Run were doing the night before they built this car ?

The woodgrain on the steering wheel horn pad isn't seen very often either.... and I can't figure out any rhyme or reason as to when it was used. There is an L78 in NY with a standard green cloth bench seat interior, but it has the woodgrain horn shroud.

Went to the shop this morning to check for chrome. 69 car has chrome left and right of speedo area, lower left and around radio. 70 has the same plus chrome around speedo and around the whole outside. Hope this helps, I'll try to take some digital photos. Wilma

Tom, does your car with chrome around everything have a tach dash?

Here's a pic of my '69 SS with custom, bucket interior. Only chrome is at the bottom. What a mystery.

That's an interesting thought, Marlin........ my '70 does have a factory tach and did have the "extra" chrome trim on the bezel. Attached is a picture of a '70 L34 that was on Ebay a while ago. Check out its dash.

Here's another one. This is a gray L34 in PA.
