Re: Novas
Now for the reveal. I've found this car. It has survived the tests of time and is currently living in Georgia.
Now for the sad news for us purists. The car is currently very heavily modified with a 502 crate Chevy, bucket seats and black cherry paint. It retains no allegiance to it's originality. I'll post a few more pictures of the vintage shots but I'm saving the best ones for my Lost Muscle Cars book project. I do have a copy of the Bill of Sale showing the color and the L78. Thanks for the interest and although it's not back to original, at least the car has survived.

Re: Novas
Well that is some great news. Unfortunately if it is painted a different color and now has a newer motor, it wouldn't even make sense to try and buy the car and restore it back to its original condition. Way to much money to invest and most likely not get it back in the end. Unless money wasn't an issue. 1968 BB novas are very hard to document. Maybe the original paper work might have some value too the current owner? It would be cool to see the previous owner and new owner together with a before and after pictures of the car. That sounds like a very cool story.

Re: Novas
Why would it not make sense to buy and put it back to original? Parts cost??
