Great stories and histories. Especially about the '65 Chevelle 300 post with the L-79 327-350 HP. That's a car that's been in my Fantasy File for a long time!

Small update. The 68 Nova SS was bought by a 17 year old kid who was going to Elk River High School in 1973.
Also, when my friend bought the L79 Chevelle he had the opportunity to buy a Z16 at that time. However, his budget was more in the $2,500 range as opposed to the 4K sticker price on the Z16.

A bit of more news. The 68 was bought new out of Merit Chevrolet and the guy was working at Sears in Brookdale when he installed the tri-power.

I spoke with the original owner of the 68 SS and he has photo's of the car. The original color was Seafrost Green.

Does anyone have an image of a 68 SS in Seafrost Green with a vinyl roof they could share?

Thanks Dave. I searched through those images prior and hadn't located a 68 SS wearing a black vinyl roof.
