I wish someone had the internal GM documentation showing why they ever built a handful of cars so late in the model year. If you think of the reality of production, there were a lot of engineering changes (Bills of material, etc) that had to happen to put this engine in a platform that was on it's way out of production. There were significant differences from the '66 Nova L79, and even the L79 used in other '67 Chevelles / Corvettes. You gotta wonder WHY, since they knew that the '68 Nova was going to be nothing like the '67.

Seems like a big mystery as to why this handful of cars was ever produced.
