... Tom knows these novas in and out.

... I am sure that it is hard to comprehend how many great parts come with this car and I am sure that a serious buyer owes it to himself to go view this nova in person. I have always found that negotiating in person once you have viewed the car and all the parts is always better then by phone or on line because you get to meet the person and get the whole story of what this car is all about.

... I have always found that everyone is negotiable in person.

... Good luck with the sale

Post 68 L78 Update...

Good morning...

Here is a quick update on our 68 L78 Nova SS.

We moved the car to our home shop for easier viewing by interested buyers. I have been sorting and organizing NOS parts and other items for the car. Since the heart of this beast is the L78 engine, I took it to our machine shop for a checkup. It was rebuilt a number of years back and after a thorough inspection, cleaning and refresh of a few things we ran it on the dyno.

So we now have a 'clean bill of health' for this rare and BORN WITH engine...I will post dyno video and paperwork as soon as I can figure that out

Results were impressive;

424.8hp @ 5900rpm 429.5ft/tq @3600rpm

Our guy is Jack Boyd, Boyd's Motorworks in Gloversville, NY...he did a shout out to Eric Jackson who did the 4053 Holley..."Tom, your carb guy is awesome!"

More to follow...wilma

Post L78 Dyno Run...

Engine is all stock...carb is factory 4053 VS...rebuilt by Mr. Jackson

Nothing fancy...we used standard dyno headers.

Tom

Default 68 l78...

Picked up the engine this week from Jack Boyd....

Jason Hale was very kind to help with the install...we had a few 'hydraulic' problems, but nothing we couldn't handle.

Engine is back where it belongs.

Many thanks to Jason, he is a great car guy and friend

Post Gold Chicken Lips is Sold...

Our 68 L78 Nova has found a new home with a great car guy. We have owned this rare car for 20 years...glad to see it will finally get finished. Hope to see it at MCACN one of these days.
