well im new to the nova scene...i have 2 other chevy's..camaro,truck....now i got my hands on a 69 nova..L6..base model i supose..im converting it to a ss clone..id love to have a ss matching numbers..and if i had a matching number ss. body rotted...holes and heavy damage..i would do anything to get it restored.check if the frame is straight..evrything from the firewall forward can be replaced or metalworked... new floorpans are a quick weld in..doors are everywhere!..skins or the whole door..new and used..rusted or wrecked roof?..get a rusted out parts car and cut the roof off and weld it up to the ss..and strip the rest of it and put the parts on ebay..you can get rear quarter panels..new or used......i think that a #'s matching 69 ss....is worth the trouble...ss clones are going for around 18.000...so im sure a reall ss is alot more.....ANY 69 chevy ss is rare as hell in the first place!!....thats my 2 cents....later!!

so the answer to the original question is.....the tags make it an ss?..cause the numbers dont lie....new parts or old....legally its still the same car......its alot better than just saying .''its not worth it''....and calling up the scrap metal driver for a pick up........cause if you restore it right....you showdnt be able to tell the difforance between old or new.....correct?..so in my opinion....as long as the numbers match...and the vin tags have not been tamperd with.....it will always be a ss...i dont care if its 80% new reproduction parts....it will ALAWYS be an ss

its crazy!!!!!..ive seen on ebay saying that there selling an ss nova....396....then i scroll down to the vin#...and its just like mine.....113279----chevy--chevy 2/400/L6---2door--69...dont they know people can get all the info from the vin?.....all my numbers match....so im thinking after i finish cloning it..i might rebuild the L6..and trans..just to keep the matching parts......im thinking of going 4 speed....
