L89 Nova
 

Hi Guys, I just bought this 1969 375hp Nova SS and the guy told me it was a L89 car. Do you know how I could verify it? It has the 12 bolt with 456 gears and it also has a fin on the back. Thanks
PS The picture is to big and I have to resize it.

Tim, There is NO real documention about L89 novas, built from the factory! BBBenny

If the car has a TH400 then there should be JM as the last two digits on the engine pad.

If the car has a 4 speed then there should be KE as the last two digits on the engine pad.

Example below is a Corvette 427/390 HP with manual trans (IL)

EDIT: It is not that difficult to restamp an engine BTW once it has been decked. So even if you see a JM or KE, without bulletproof documentation there is no way to prove your car has/had an L89 in it.

Send the photos to me and I will post them.

Here we go again...

L89...
 

And the beat goes on...:smirk:

Is this car black ?

"fin on the back" original L89 Nova's were able to get airborne. Nothing stokes the fire more than those 7 digits, L89 Nova. Hope the buyer maybe got an orig L78 Nova out of it and good luck with the project

GM production records do not record any L89 units produced in a Nova in 1969
