Default Novas

Being i have very limited knowledge on 68-70 Novas i thought i would ask some questions here. Yesterday my GF and I rented a timeshare from a couple here in MN that we found on an add online. When i got there we started chatting about cars (weird huh LOL) and after a while i was looking at his 74 Z28 Camaro and 63 409 Impala. We then proceeded to go downstairs and talk more cars and have a couple brews.
Onto the Novas... He told me about a couple Nova's he had in the very early 70's. 1st was a 68 L78 Nova, 4spd with 4.56's. He stated that this Nova came for the factory with 4.56's, any truth to this? Car was green with a black vinyl roof and black guts. 2nd car was a 69 L78 Nova which we didnt get into much because the 68 interested me so much.

The prior owner had installed a tri-power off a Vette on the Nova and headers. Both of these cars were in the Maple Grove, MN area back in late 1970-1974. He bought the Z brand new and had only 1 garage stall so the 68 L78 had to go. Like I said my knowledge is limited so if you know something about 68's and i misspoke please clear up.
