Default 1968 L-79 Nova Registry

I have started a registry for the 1968 L-79 Novas. There were only 1274 built in 68. I know these are not Supercars but they are very cool Novas and not much is known about them. Please let me know if you have any info on these amazing cars.

You may already know about this car, but here is one that is not too far from us. Under current inventory.

Chevelle

That is a L-79 Chevelle. I am just doing Novas right now. I know that Chevelle very well I used to own it.

My bad, sorry. So is that Chevelle the real deal?

I never had any documentation with the car, and didnt have it long enough to find out.

Did it have the "born with" engine in it when you had the car?

I am doing a 68 L-79 Nova registry, I would rather not discuss the Chevelle.

No big deal. Just had heard some rumors about the car and figured best to get it straight from the horse's mouth.

Good luck with the Nova registry.

After thinking it over I thought I would set it straight on the 68 L-79 Chevelle. The motor is not the born with motor. It was a L-79 motor out of a 68 nova, ironically I wish I had now. I did not sell it as the real deal. The people who made the claims that is the original motor will have to answer to that. It is really a shame ,the car is very nice, to have such a stigma attached to it.It is a very nice recreation plane and simple. I dont want to get another call from someone buying the car and have to answer to it and not tell them the truth. Case closed.

Jeff, thanks for clearing things up.

And as you say, a very nice car.


BTW, one of those Novas you are working would fit right in at the Pure Stock Drags. Heck, maybe the Deuce guys would let you in their shootout at the SCR.
