There wereonly 5200 375 HP L78's produced in 1969.Ithas the one year only 4 speed crossmember, 12 bolt posi, 3:55 standard on 375's, the heater box outlets,(by the way, best i can tell this car still has the old original heater core still in place) the big block radiator support (375 had special one just for it) single 3/8 fuel line with no return line and the factory original 6000 rpm redline tach. (that are not, and probably never will be re-produced, these are impossible to find used). Im sure theres more but you get the idea.....Below is a list of the drivetrain components, trim tag build date is first week in march (3A).

All body lines are clean and straight all panel gaps are equal and precise all chrome is either original or has been replaced.Some unique things are still there like the neutral safety switch (the one attatched to the clutch pedal requiring it to be pushed before it will start). The reverse lock out (the devise that locks the steering wheel when the car is put in reverse). The factory applied vinyl top hasjust a slight blemish or two but no rust at all under it.This car was not a rusty rebuild like some are its lived a very preserved life. All doors, hood, trunk open and close like they should. Attention has been given to every bit of correctness likeNO aftermarket gauges or column mounted tach, headers, wrong wheels painted wrong color ect.....Look at the pictures the time and attention to detail is hard to explain. All clips for fuel lines and brake lines are color coded correct bolts have the correct black phosphate. The underneath of the car and all suspension components look as nice and detailed as what you see under the hood. This isthe nicest restored1969 L78 Nova that I've seen come up for sale in a long time. Absolutely NO disappointments.Please call me with any questions. Thanks,John.908-489-4200.
