Re: 68 L78 nova on E-bay
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

Re: 68 L78 nova on E-bay
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.

Re: 68 L78 nova on E-bay
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.

[/ QUOTE ] 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.wilma

Re: 68 L78 nova on E-bay
The earliest L-78 I seen is 5A There may some 4A cars but I never seen one. I have seen 5 L-78 that were not Gibb cars. Very rare.
