Thanks for the attempts so far. Must be a tough car to find actual images of.

Thanks Greg. The car I'm helping my friend track was sold to a younger kid who lived in Elk River, MN around 1974. I've been in contact with some of the "car guys" from Elk River's graduating classes of 74/75 to see if anyone remembers a classmate with this car. Unfortunately a pic of a Camaro might through them off too much. The color combo is spot on, however people with limited memories on old cars may not truly remember a Camaro vs a Nova.
Just to reiterate my search, I'm looking for a friends 68 Nova SS 396/375 car that had a Corvette Tri-Power installed under the hood. It was Seafrost Green w/ a bench seat and a black vinyl top. It was sold by the owner in Big Lake to a highschool age kid who lived in Elk River, MN circa 1974ish. The car would have been quite a formidable little weapon with the L78 and the factory 4.56 stump pullers. I'm working with the former owner on digging out some of his old photography which hopefully has shots of the Nova. I've posted some of the other cars he owned on prior pages.

Good news. I'm meeting with the original owner tomorrow who has photos and possibly paperwork from the car.

Great have a beer with him for us and snap some pictures of his pictures.... I still have never seen a 68 78 nova in sea forest green but you can't rule any out. I have been in contact recently with a guy who claims to have 5 1968 BB novas. I have seen pictures of 3 of them and documentation for 1. One of the three is the earliest 68 BB nova I have ever seen it is an 04D car. He is supposed to have all the documentation for all the cars. His father was a 68 Nova nut. He has a tone of NOS nova parts. He has several 68 Novas a couple 4dr cars and a couple SB SS cars. His father actually tried to buy my old 68 L79 multiple times. The guy also tells me his fathers friend has multiple 68 BB novas also but I have never seen any pictures. Just talked about in conversation.

I now have a copy of the Invoice and about 12 photos of the car. I won't have access to a scanner until Monday, but will post some of the shots when I can. Need to find a source to run the VIN.

I read about a Nova like this on one of the Nova sites about 4-5 years ago that was in the Twin Cities area. If I remember correctly it still had the three deuces on it and was unrestored from when the guy bought it in the early 80's.
