'70 Tuxedo Black L78 Nova - Documented
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have a 1970 Tuxedo Black Nova L-78 - numbers matching with protecto plate. 4-speed, buckets, radio delete, redline wide ovals with dog dish hubs. This car was purchased at Legendary Motorcar - if you have heard of them, you know their reputation.

As for the history of the car, I know it was originally from Nashville, North Carolina and there is a 1992 Pennsylvania inspection sticker on the windshield. I believe it was restored about 12 0r 13 years ago. The paint is lacquer and is pretty nice, except for it is a little thin near the bottom. The window rubbers need to be replaced, one of the heater knobs is broken off and there is a tear in the rear sail panel. All of the body panels are solid and original as far as I can tell. The tranny is a non-numbers M-20. Since I have had it, I have installed a tach and gauges and I took out the points and replaced them with a Fireball points eliminator with rev limiter, but I still have the original points. The engine pic I've attached shows some non-original hose clamps on the heater hoses - I've since replaced all of them with GM original tower clamps, purchased from Greenwood Chevy. I've had the car for 2 1/2 years and I've put on 2228 miles in that time.

This is a very strong car with a numbers-matching motor, 4-spd, buckets and radio delete. The original owner probably bought it to race, as it has no bells and whistles to weigh it down - no air, radio, console, spare tire or chrome trim. It is not a show car and it does have some flaws, but you know these cars and how rare it is to find a real 70 L-78 especially in Tuxedo Black with bucket seats.

This is not a trailer-queen, but it is a true sleeper.
As far as I've been told, there is no problem taking an American car back to the U.S. and it is a fairly simple process, but I will check into it and assist in any way possible.

I'm asking $68 500 USD.

I will post a couple of pics here, but most of the ones I have are too large. Please email me at [email protected] for more pics or info. If you would like to discuss anything, please call me at 519-729-8881, as I have a broken hand and typing is a pain.

P.S. - Anyone on here that knows any history on this car, please feel free to add anything I've missed!

As I said, I have better pics taken outside in bright light, but the file sizes are too large to post here. Please email me if you're interested [email protected]
