Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's
The VIN stamp on the engine appears wrong, the 10W... is 1OW, subtle, but it should be a zero not a letter. I saw that the rear code is CBW, which is a 4.10:1 code used on the deuces. However, that rear has been hit as well, the CBW stamping on the original cars is very unique - and this one is not even close. The fuzzy POP is interesting! Looks like a Sutliff car, they did get some cool stuff - but this car does not appear to be a legit L89.

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's
Marlin,
Wouldn't a "CBW" indicate a special heat treated ring and pinion? Has there been any other documented examples of special COPO high performance rear ends (CBW, BV) in other than COPO cars? Also, I would have expected that all CBW axles would have been assembled in a few batches in the May (or later) time frame (not March)in anticipation of the Deuce production.

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's
Just by looking at the pictures your car was built a whole lot better than the silver car. If I had to spend that kind of money for a Nova your car would be a better value.
