Re: 1968 L-79 Nova Registry
[ QUOTE ]
After thinking it over I thought I would set it straight on the 68 L-79 Chevelle. The motor is not the born with motor. It was a L-79 motor out of a 68 nova, ironically I wish I had now. I did not sell it as the real deal. The people who made the claims that is the original motor will have to answer to that. It is really a shame ,the car is very nice, to have such a stigma attached to it.It is a very nice recreation plane and simple. I dont want to get another call from someone buying the car and have to answer to it and not tell them the truth. Case closed. [/ QUOTE ] Well said Jeff. This is the type of situation that the guy cloning the #68 ZL1 needs to be aware of. The car was built as a recreation, but now... it's being touted as the 'real deal'. Jeff is an upstanding, honest guy, but the subsequent owners.... different story. Nice to put it to rest. As for a race between a '68 L79 Nova vs. a '70 LT1 Nova - let's do it!  How about at an SCR when you get your car done? I'm up for it, I think it would be a great race - especially with the '68 L79's usually having an M20 vs. the '70 LT1's having an M21.... the comparisons are endless.Bring it...

Re: 1968 L-79 Nova Registry
Love that car Jeff, and would love to find a '68 L79 Nova for my little Amanda someday
Then there would be a '68 L79, a '69 L78, and a '70 LT1 in the stable.... someday...
