alan,
i believe 1968 was the first year b/m started advertising the nova line.this continued until the early seventies.depending upon which year car your were ordering you could have had anything from the lt-1 350 to the 454 phase three engine (70-72).i had been contacted by the ertl company thru joel rosen to help them produce a car using my phase 3 nova as a starting point.they had talked about using my cars details along with information from old car test to produce a car.
