Default Re: 1968 L78 Nova

Should read 11427 for a V8. There is no SS designation after 67. Is this a 4spd car? What's the build date? If it's a turbo 400 call me, and don't listen to anyone else.

I think that he is refering to the fact that most people do not know that the TH400 was available with the L78 in 68... 50 units Gibb COPO.
