I got an email from a guy that has a Black 68 L-79 Nova that was bought in Oxnard CA. Does anybody know what Chevy dealer was there at that time or if they are still in business?

Do you think your Dad would remember this 68 327 Nova? It would have been Black with a 4 speed. Not your normal nova.

I'll give him a call. Edit:
He started working there in August of 1970.
He said the sales manager at the time the Nova was sold would have been Jack Arnold.

Sorry I couldn't get more info.

On a side note I vividly remember his demo in 1973/74 (I was around 6 years old) It was a red/white top S3 Laguna 454/4 speed.That thing was NICE.

There are also a few Courtesy Chevrolets near by.
