I didn't see that. With a car like that don't you think you would include proof in the description. It would only make the sale faster.

Cool car if it's genuine! .

With his feedback situation, you'd think the guy'd start a new eBay account before selling it? .

68 big blocks are hard to doc. The engine sounds correct as far as the casting #s and suffix.

No Disc Brakes? Were the L78 Nova SS's different than the camaros in that you did not get Disc's with the SS package?

Discs were an option on the SS Camaro in 1967 and 68.

667 L78 Novas poduced in 1968....documented, real cars are very rare..how many have you ever seen??(not counting the Gibb cars).....HD frt. drums were std. with the BB Novas in 68..disc's were an upgrade. Drums had the large fins for cooling, all were power assist. This car has been around for awhile ...recently from Florida. If you need info send a PM.

wilma

**68 brochure and other literature lists power brakes as an option..but I have never seen a 68 BB Nova without power assist. The 396 was a late 68 intro and few people even knew it was available.

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
