View Full Version : 68 Chevy Nova L78 musclegaragetv.com Nov 10th, 08, 11:50 AM Any Ideas where to find one? jason 68 L78 Nov 10th, 08, 08:13 PM David, These 68 L78 nova's are very hard to find. They only built 901 BB cars in 1968, 234 were 350hp cars, 667 were 375hp cars and of the 667 50 were copo automatic cars. Mine is one of the 617! I only know of a couple cars with the original drive line. Mine is an 05D car. The sequence number on the Broadcast sheet say's my car was fourth in sequence on May 31 1968. This is what is in my garage! http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d189/jasonchale/3-1.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d189/jasonchale/novaarticle.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d189/jasonchale/2006_0606_172910-1.jpg 1968MotionL88Nova Nov 12th, 08, 06:20 PM Hi Musclecargarage,These extremely rare cars are real hard to find.Most that own them won't sell them.

Thanks! Dan The Big Al Dec 7th, 08, 01:07 PM I love that car! How much I miss that color interior. That is what my First Nova SS 68 car had. 350/ 3speed car. You have no idea how many say the only color buckets were black!:rolleyes: AL 1968MotionL88Nova Dec 7th, 08, 02:53 PM Al,Funny you mention that,called on a 68 ChevyII Nova SS L48 4speed car F/S today.Guys had this car for 32 years! Original interior was ASH Gold,changed it to black many many years ago.I told him you shoudn't of done that,he said he knows now. He put a 72 Nova Black interior in it ,like the buckets better from a 72.Even change the door panels to the wood grain ones.Yes he sold the original interior many years ,too bad! Car still has the original ASH gold kicks though.Car color is Sequoia Green.Still has a muncie 4 speed and 12 bolt. |
