Default Re: Dash tag and Firewall tag different?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Crossbreed383</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I have a 68 Nova that shows to be a an original 6 cyl car,and in its current state is a 6cyl 3 sped manual car
The Vin plate on dash starts 11327 as it should for a 6 cyl car
Yet the firewall tag starts with a 11427 which shows it to be a v8 car?
What gives???
Is this normal and possible?
Thanks
Nick </div></div>

Yes, this is normal as all Nova's have 11427 on their Trim Tag. Tell us more about the car, we love '68 Nova's around here! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

1968 Nova
Original 6cyl w 3speed on column-bench seat, radio delete car
Southwest car originally , very solid , and I believe im now the 3rd owner
Repainted once -was originally Ash Gold w Ivy gold interior
Plan is to repaint,and detail undercarriage as well as I have a BB427 and M20 waiting to go back in
Also found a correct Nova 12 bolt and new multi leafs,frt spring as well
Pretty much a complete redo lol

If you're going to try to be &quot;correct&quot; for 68, there are many one year pieces and differences on a 68. Research 1st.

How about some photos in the 'as is' condition.

A 68 BB is a cool project [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
