Thx Stefano , I ended up picking up a 1969 cdn documented L78 , 4 sp , Nova and it should be arriving in a few weeks. original rally green car, is now white. l78 is long gone and the car currently has a 68 427 in it , but it looks pretty good. Thx again Bob

Also included with the car are a correct date coded set of 4 SS wheels (current are Repro), an original shifter, and correct fan Blade.

The L78 will be on display in the Members rides/ sYc display at the Spring Chevy Vette Fest.

Is there a 'C' on that rear tube just before the 'BT'? The 'C' is usually off to the left, apparently was stamped separately due to the '69 gang holder not having room for the extra letter!

Nothing about Novas gets by Marlin. I must have had '69s on the brain when I cropped the picture, but the rear does have the C stamped before the BT and the letter is not in gang form and more consistent with the date code stampings.

Nice! That's a '70 thing, and the 'C' is always outside the normal gang holder area, and usually crooked - different depth - and in a different location vertically. I'm not sure if the '71+ Novas have a three letter code, I think they may have gone back to the two letter version.

That's a beautiful car Steve, I've drooled all over it many times. I can't for the life of me understand why this car hasn't sold. Who ever buys this car is going to have one fine ride.
