Re: 68 L78 nova on E-bay
Tom according to this link at nova resources only 167 68 novas had the m22,1,495 had the m21 and 5,399 had the m20 transmission. This is just something I came across.

Re: 68 L78 nova on E-bay
At least cosmetically it seems it may be a fake. The hood is missing the louver support brackets underneath and the steering wheel horn has the outline of where the original shield type emblem used to be, where it now has the "SS".

He told me that all those cars came the M-22...may just be an old theory....I will find out! wilma

Re: 68 L78 nova on E-bay
Unfortunatly there's probably few left with the original drive train. You need to check for the other clues like the BB radiator support, BBheater box, 3/8 single fuel line, etc. Most of these bad boys had a hard life.

Re: 68 L78 nova on E-bay
My 68 SS is an 07B build date. I don't have Power brakes. It came with finned drums. I think Mark Fuss's 68 has manual brakes also (thinking way back to his cars write up in NNN magazine). I also have an M21 in my car but haven't checked the numbers on the trans. I spoke with someone here once that had A gibb/Harrell Nova that had A vin exactly 1000 below my cars# and were both 07B cars. I can't remember who it was now though. If it wasn't Ray M. it was one of Dennis Hartwigs car.
