My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
I just picked up my new project, A 1968 L79 Nova. Anyone recognize it? It came with all the original paper work, title, 1968 registration, broadcast sheet and pop. It has a factory replacement warranty block, the original 3 speed transmission and original BT- rear-end. Yep and it's a factory air car! I am really looking forward to this project. It’s funny how things work out I was looking at this car last year but just couldn’t come up with the money. Now it resides in my garage one year later.
Enjoy!!!!!

Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
so the original owner was trying to fake out people with the 396 fender badges?
[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] nice survivor, I would leave it the way it is ... cool / odd option combinations: three speed, factory a/c and the high performance 327, sounds like something my dad would have ordered, he would want the ac but wouldn't pay extra for the 4 speed ...

Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
Why does it have 396 fender badges if it is an original small block car?

Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.

Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.
the last year for "plain" wheels on a Corvette was 1966, all after that (except 67 bolt ons) were rally wheels, the P01/P02 wheel covers were installed over the rally wheels.
