Please note that this is NOT a list of parts for sale. The purpose of this list is to help fellow Nova enthusiasts determine which restoration and repair parts will fit a 1969 Nova.
The "Avail from Parts Suppliers" column lists the availability status.
The "GM PN" column lists the original GM part number for the part (if available). These numbers are listed as LEFT / RIGHT. I've taken these numbers from several different sources so there may be some inaccuracies. Many of these numbers have been discontinued by GM or superseded with new numbers. However, they are still useful for reference and parts identification purposes.
Parts listed in green will physically fit a '69 Nova but are not technically correct for '69. The notes following the listing give more details about the differences.
