No midnight blue metallic in 69 on a Nova. Check the trim tag again please.

So Pete would that be a BW stamp? 68 Nova would have been RPO. 69 Camaro would have been RPO I believe. Must have been a performance dealer to have the know how to get it in a Nova.

There was a dark blue. Perhaps that's what he means?

Default 69 L78 Nova...

Dusk Blue, black vinyl top, 731 plain jane interior [rubber floor mat car], A-3, black interior trim with 3 exterior trim options, 1st week of July, 3/8 fuel line and correct looking tank sender/line, BB heater core, BB radiator. Hard to tell much else from the photos..

Is that one picture a date stamp on an aluminum head..??

Lets clean off the snow and jump in for better pics and more details...

Hell, it's winter...what else do we have to do

Not to cloud this thread, but could you possibly pm a link to the silver Nova? I'm curious if it's the one I ran around with in the 80's in the Cincinnati area.
Thanks

Wink L89...

I believe there have been 2 different "L89" Novas that have made the rounds in the car world...they were both 1970 model year....one was black [which I have seen] and the other was silver. Here are some links to various articles and for sale ads I found...I'm sure there are more out there if you are bored and want something to do.

If you have an L89 Nova and want to have it 'verified' and 'authenticated' please contact Ken Tibor [kwhizz] he is the leading authority on these cars and his personal knowledge is second to none

Wow, thanks Wilma.
The car I've lost it's whereabouts was a silver 69, auto, column shift bench seat black interior with 4.56 rear. Long story on the car I won't cloud the thread with. I was just hoping the silver one mentioned might be the car.
Sorry guys, carry on.
