I think the L-79 nova would do pretty good against the Deuces. Might just do that.

Were all '68 L-79 Novas Non-SS cars? .

What ever happened to that rusty one on eBay about 6 Mos. back? . It looked real and the guy was suggesting a rebody...a red one maybe? .

In 68 they were all non SS novas with the SS package. They had a 12 bolt, multi leaf springs, and a three speed or 4 speed muncie.

The red 68 from e bay was sold to someone in MO. It was a real L-79 car with alot of Docs.

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.

Well said Jeff. This is the type of situation that the guy cloning the #68 ZL1 needs to be aware of. The car was built as a recreation, but now... it's being touted as the 'real deal'. Jeff is an upstanding, honest guy, but the subsequent owners.... different story. Nice to put it to rest.

As for a race between a '68 L79 Nova vs. a '70 LT1 Nova - let's do it! How about at an SCR when you get your car done? I'm up for it, I think it would be a great race - especially with the '68 L79's usually having an M20 vs. the '70 LT1's having an M21.... the comparisons are endless.

Bring it...

Jeff did you get a open air cleaner with the car saying 327-325, if you did i know where it came from.
