SD 396 or only with a 6 cyl

Looks like a '68 carry over. This one and the white one both have the '68 bumpers, grille, and tail lights. You just never know what the other half of the world is up to. CKD in Oshawa used to box up car kits to be assembled in other countries. There is a local '66 Skylark that was assembled in Belgium. I think that there was stuff sent to South Africa as well. Probably other places as well. Neat stuff. The red SD396 looks like the one in our '69 Beaumont Brochure and the white one with the lady leaning on the hood is the same brochure that we have.

I've never heard of these before. However, I've heard of these in Argentina:

Chevy SS Coupe Serie 2

Another one

You can see even more HERE and HERE!

Here's a Dodge GTX

And here's a Dodge R/T

Didn't those Argentinian SS Nova's have a couple Mopar'ish looking hood scoops? .

And wasn't there '68 & up Novas made somewhere offshore as a hardtop, not the 2-Dr. sedans we all know and love? .

Those 4 door SS's are kinda' cool?

The '62-65 Chevy-2's w/ quad lamps look freakish! .

I believe the 1st-Gen Rally Sport has the scoops you're thinking of? But they're not Moparish, IMHO.

I am not aware of any hardtop Novas.

Here's a link to some Holden Manaro stuff. . The earlier ones look good...sort've a 67-69 Cuda roofline? . The later mid-70's ones look bad...kind've like Granadas? .

Hi
More Acadian Beaumont GTA pics

The Holden Monaros, to me, clearly look like GM 1968 stuff. All that coke bottle and sweeping rooflines.

I'd thought I'd share this here.
From the 1970 GM Canadian Cat.

I have some of those catalogs. The 350 was the largest engine in those cars. No 396s.
