Re: 1968 L-79 Nova Registry
I will be putting the resto pitures of the Green L-79 on the website in a couple of days. It is completly disasembled now. For those who havent drove in a L-79 powered car it is quite an experience.
I have said all I am going to say about the chevelle, if you want to talk novas rock on!

Re: 1968 L-79 Nova Registry
Marlin cheats.
 I've seen some pics of the GG L79 in process. Looks like a big job being done right. I think the 68 L79 registry is a good project. It's been up over at Stevesnovasite for some time. Lotta good info there on these way under rated novas. These are the novas that I believe can be traced all the way back to Bill Thomas, when he started putting 375hp corvette motors in 1st gen novas. With no SS badging you never knew what hit you until it left you in the dust.

[/ QUOTE ] 'Vette engine AND independent rear suspension (Bad Bascom). BT told me the first time out at a USAC road race this car dominated the field. They were "asked" not to bring the car back. That may explain why it was later sold to DH for drag racing.

Re: 1968 L-79 Nova Registry
Just talked to a guy from Virginia Beach, Virginia that ordered a 68 L-79, M-21, 3:73 Posi Black with black bench seat with the ZJ2 exterior trim. He ordered it in april of 68 and got it in July. He has all the paperwork , POP, Order sheet and window sticker. He sold it in the 70s. Maybe we can help him find it. Man that must have been an awesome car new. He said it came with dogdish caps and skinny little 7:35x14 tires. He took it took the dragstrip bone stock and did a 14:40! He wishes very much he had it back. Pictures will be on the website when I get them.
