"THE" L89 Nova on Dream Car Garage

[GMC_Typhoon]

Apparently there were 6 made




1970 Chevrolet Nova SS 396 L89
1970 CHEVROLET NOVA SS 396 L89. 1of 6 produced by General Motors. There is one other known car that has survived. This SS L89 Nova is a numbers matching car backed by its warranty protecto plate book, original owners manual, brochures, and literature. Body off restored to its original chalk markings. Equipped with its 396/375 hp L-89 packaged motor with a Muncie M-21 4 speed, 12 bolt rear end with a 4:10 rear end gear ratio. Cortez Silver, Black interior, bench seat, radio delete, black vinyl top, expressed clearly on the trim tag. The car is tailored with its vintage correct optional 14" SS wheels, with polyglass Goodyear tires. Maintains its rear original quarters clearly visible coded correct. Valuable piece direct from GM and in my opinion as or more valuable than any Yenko out there.

Hmmmm.... "Valuable piece direct from GM and in my opinion as or more valuable than any Yenko out there." O.K. sure, then why not price it at, say, $350K. And pls educate me, does the "warranty POP" have the engine and drivetrain codes on it?

Saw the Dupont registry did 70 Nova L78's use the Dual snorkle air cleaner like the 70 Camaro L78's?

Late 70 L78 Novas used the dual snorkle, although most of the time they were chucked

everyone chunked those wild looking things... that's what makes them so valuable!

I can only speak for my 65, yes, it has engine, trans and rear, dates/code/ratio. Also imprinted is the interior trim code, paint and options.

PoP info for 69 the same

Love the happy marks on that silver nova! Might want to chuck that '71+ washer bottle, throw in a SS grill or paint the bars - headlight frames too.... oh well, would love to see the POP! It would have the all important engine code and I guess an unknown code for that 4.10 geared rear in a '70?? Might be a Deuce code, would be neat to see.

Peter Klutt said the 1970 Nova they had was 1 of 1. According to the show, Chevrolet did not offer the L89 in the Nova in 1970. Looks like they are wrong on that.

musclecarjohn, The show is on Speed Channel at 7:00 am Central time on Sunday's.

I think most, if not all, of the diehard Nova fans believe that GM made a few L89 Novas - we've just been waiting to see a documented example. With this black car, it looks legit, and we'd like to see the doc's - if for no other reason, than to just see what they look like! We'd like to see if the Nova shared the engine suffix with the Camaro, we'd like to see a window sticker or an order form, a block stamping, a 4.10 geared '70 Nova.... Lots to see!!!
