Not Mine, but a very rare 68 Nova L78 short block (It's not a Gibb motor, too early)I think they only made about 600 or so of these Nova's in 68. Somebody go chase the VIN and see if the car is still around, seller states he might know where it came from.?

That VIN is about 8,000 units earlier than our 68 L78 car...engine assembly date is 3 days earlier....don't know if that means anything....but thought I'd throw it in there http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I saw that motor also! It is 15,000 off from my car, so I bet it is a mid to late June built car. Mine is the last week in May 05D and I think Tom's car is July?
