EBay fable? fantasy or confusion...

"I purchased this car new in 1969 from Van –T Chevrolet in Topeka Ks., via Dickie Harrell in KCMO. Harrell was instrumental in helping me get this car. Van-T was well known in the 60’s for being a supercar dealer, but this car had to be located as it was special order car that had been shipped to KCMO (as part of a Central Office Production Order). It was one of only 500 built like it in 1969."

"Originally it came with the L89 package, HIPER 402 CI BBC, 785 Holley with dual feed bowls, 4-speed with a Muncie floor shifter with no console, and a 355 positrac 12 bolt. It had power assist disc brakes on the front wheels (changed to non-power later). It was radio and carpet delete, and had the SS package, interior and exterior décor packages and was Le Mans blue with black interior. It came with a straight back seat. The original headliner is still intact and looks like the day I got it."


It's a COPO, and an L89 Nova, yet it's only bringing $2,325? I think we're ALL missing the boat here!

I emailed Dave about this last night and he has not responded to my email. He might be taking care of this matter?

Tom williams was telling me about a guy at the rhineback car show a couple of weeks ago that said he also had an original L89 nova. This is odd two weeks later a car is on e-bay stating an original L89 car! This show was in New York and the seller is in Oklahoma, so most likely can't be the same person.
I'm sure tom will give his 2 cents.

I had a discussion with a pretty knowledgeable individual about L89 novas the other day. He said he knew of a guy who had recieved a new 69 L78 nova with the al heads in the trunk. They were then installed at the dealership.
Mr Howie and I subsiquently had a phone discission, and again agreed to disagree. While there is no good reason for GM not to install those heads at the factory, this guy had no reason to make up the story. Not the first time I've heard of them being dealer installed from day 1 either. Maybe someone could check the paperwork on this one if you're at the auction.
Be gentle with Mr Howie. He's been a little under the weather lately. Between the medication, and the self over medication. That, and I heard they're thinkin about wallin off Albia, and givin it back to Mexico.
