Didn't they toss a Nova for claiming the wrong body a while back?

You are correct. I believe it was the chap from Europe that bought a west coast car with I believe a 402/375 that would fit AA if he claimed the correct year but he didn’t. Someone caught his mistake and he got tossed. There are a lot of nice combos for that Nova body style. And the car can get very light.

I think I made the original post noting that the year claimed didn't match the taillights. I don't think that matters anymore, really.

But then someone else took that to the next step to note that there was no combo that fit AA/SA for the model year that was claimed.
