68 L78 nova on E-bay

[WILMASBOYL78]

667 L78 Novas poduced in 1968....documented, real cars are very rare..how many have you ever seen??(not counting the Gibb cars).....HD frt. drums were std. with the BB Novas in 68..disc's were an upgrade. Drums had the large fins for cooling, all were power assist. This car has been around for awhile ...recently from Florida. If you need info send a PM.

**68 brochure and other literature lists power brakes as an option..but I have never seen a 68 BB Nova without power assist. The 396 was a late 68 intro and few people even knew it was available.

68 L-78 came with power drum brakes as described in the previous posts.disc brakes wew offered as the J-52 options /which were 4 pistons calipers brakes.the block suffix appear to be correct.But a protect-plate or doc.from a previous owner would help ;either way a cool car.chris Teed/owner of a documented 68 nova ss 396/350 hp 1 of 234 produced

I didn't see the trim tag, but may have missed it. What's the build date? I'm thinking they only ran 2 runs on L78s. One about the same time as the Gibb cars.

[deuce-less]

what dates would you expect to see on the trim tag?
in light of two only runs...

thx, alan

Correct me If I'm wrong but I was told BB were built during april to july of 68 the end of the production run. My car is a 05D car. It does have the J52 disk brake option on the broadcast sheet that I have for my car. I asked for a picture of the cowl tag we will see if he puts it up on the auction. He did e-mail me back and said he has no paper work on the car.

Schony is correct about the second run of L78 Nova's..my 68 is a first week of July car 07A which falls right in with Gibb cars. These 68's are a rare bird....don't know why more haven't surfaced. My understanding is that all the cars came with an M-22 trans. Would like to hear from other 68L78 4spd car owners...might be fun to compare notes.

I had not heard that about the M22 trans. Interesting.
