From the November 1972 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. It certainly appears to one of the Gibb ‘68 Nova’s.

Mark,
Thanks for posting the ad about the 68 Nova. Very interesting! Whatever it was, I believe it to be pretty rare?

With all there is to think about, it mentions the 396 with the automatic? There was 2 different options available in the 68 Novas, that being the L-34 or the L-78?

It appears in the picture to have stainless window & lower body trim, which none of the Gibb Nova’s had? In thinking about it the possibility of it being a 396-350 (L-34) it would be a rare breed, also? Only 234 of those built with only 48 being automatics.

Mark, since you are knowledgeable about the many activities surrounding the St. Louis area, I have a picture of a Nova that Gene Rains crashed I have wondered about? Of course Gene & Dick Harrell can be associated closely, however the door appears to have the name Rich Thomas on it?
