Shhh- I traded for this car recently and it just got delivered last week. It was a very fair deal with a great guy but it's still more of a project than what I have time for. I started checking out some of the local shops here in Southern California. It seems that everyone I have talked to have their kids going to USC and they want me to pay for their tuition. I was hoping the car could find a home before anybody noticed. The truth is I need to find a complete car because I just do not have the time for a big project any more. I wish Stefano would take this in trade for his complete L-78 nova.

Mark,
I just read this post. Sure I consider trades. The only L78 Nova I have left has no docs as well. I do feel that you can't buy your car/parts and make it look like the one I have for less than what I am asking, unless you do all the work yourself

Stefano, what is the best way to contact you? Marlin thank you for the response. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. With Camaros all you have to do is open a book to find most of this information but not with a Nova.

I would really key off of the clues in your description, the rad support, heater box, 4speed speedo location, trans crossmember, engine mounts, pwr disc brakes, especially the high redline tach, and the unique wire harness for the gauge cars, the special holes in the tunnel and special interior heater box for console cars, hype the buckets and deluxe interior, tear that back seat apart for a broadcast sheet in order to nail down the options. Also, take a good pic of the dual exhaust plate, the 5 leaf springs and the rear code.

That is a good color code, and a nicely optioned car. I would also suggest to add a picture of a restored car in that color.

That's a great summary and response.

Indicated the exterior trim level I believe, as in A 1, A 2 etc. My 70 Nova has only an A, and basically has no exterior trim except bright work around the windshield and rear window.

All Novas have the same stainless moldings around the windshields, and therefore are not referenced on the trim tag. Only the side moldings are referenced, drip rail, door frame, body side, and rocker.

Hi Marlin--
I read, in another post, something about you could not get all four "trim" on the same car. It was an "either or" kind of thing. My car (photo below) has all four, I think.

Am I wrong???

Thanks...!!!

K-town, I don't see the rocker moldings in your pic. It might have them under the door, but if so, they appear to be added. The rocker molding option was actually two rows of moldings, with the area in between painted black (except for dark colors) - very similar to the '69 Camaros. The reason I suspect someone added some rocker moldings if they are on there, is because I only see one row, and I don't see any behind the rear tires. That area also received two rows of rocker moldings, but the area in front of the front wheels did not.

Hi Marlin=
No, not added. I bought this car from my police officer neighbor in 1973, with 20k on it. I was there when he brought it home and when he bought it brand new from the dealer. I have always noticed that some cars got the extension moulding and others did not. I'm talking about the piece that goes between the wheel and rear bumper.

Thanks-

If anybody is interested, I just lowered the buy it now price to $12,950.00 on the e-bay ad for the rolling shell. The auction ends in about a day, so make an offer. If you need parts to go with the car I also have a 1970 396/375hp 4-bolt 854 rebuilt short block, 661 case M-21 Muncie trans, 1112000 distributor, new 4557 Holley carb, 291 bare heads, set of 5-spoke 14x7 wheels, rebuilt big block water pump, 3:31 1970 Nova 12-bolt posi and a second 854 4-bolt block with crank and rods that was cast a few week before the car was built. If you are interested make an offer on everything with the car or just the parts that you need with the car. At this point I do not want to sell the parts until the car is gone. Thanks for looking.
