[brent396]

The guy filled the holes in the quarters and was trying to make it look a Ss car when he painted it back in 77

[jasonL78]

I would have stuck with the 1969 Camaro more return in the end.

Sometimes the desire for a car overrides how much its worth or how much you can make. A Red 68 L-79 nova with original engine make not bring 69 Camaro money but it is cool as hell.

[1969L78Nova]

Wish I would have found this treasure. Congratulations

[miket1]

This Nova is very cool, I like it,
Would this be a 325 hp.,, Non SS.car.

[Salvatore]

Mike, I think the L79 options were non SS cars in 1968. I guess yes, 325hp. with a Q-Jet and a cast intake.

Brent
Craig Barnett did the same thing with his L-79 Nova went down to the Chevrolet dealer and bought an intake and carb and everything to put it on, Check out the prices

AND a spot light -- if I didn't know any better, I would swear my Dad owned this car ... every vehicle he ever had a spot light was installed. Probably had something to do with him being a Deputy Sheriff/Game Warden ... TAZ
