Re: 68 L78 nova on E-bay
My car was 4th in sequence Friday May 31 1968. I found this information on the top left hand side of my broadcast sheet. With Sunday being the first day of the week May had 4 weeks in 1968 and June had 5 weeks. Not sure if the plant would do this or would they go by work weeks Monday-Friday. If that is the case May had 5 weeks and June had 4 weeks in 1968. Ray is correct on my car it is a 05D car and the fisher body number is 7939X. My vin is 3468XX
Something I was thinking about after I read all the post on body numbers. Did they post date the bodies. If July cars are just shy of 100,000 how did they complete another 85,000 cars when the 69 bodies were most likely being sold late in that year. Didn't they introduce the new models in the fall back then. I am new to all this just throwing an idea out there. Jason |

i ask chuck 427 king to take a peek at them to get his take on how they appear to him... i have ask for more specific info, although it seems to be a bit slow in comming, the gentleman act's somewhat uneducated about the car https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif his statement... 'the dealer told me it was numbers matching' and i had my friend who is a knowlegeable guy double check the numbers, although when ask for a complete list of the pertinent numbers, nothing yet... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif |

Re: 68 L78 nova on E-bay
This has nothing to do with this particular car but I was recently leafing through some of my old mags and came across a Muscle Car Review Mag from 2000 (August, I think)that had a photo of a Neal Robbins from NY racing a '68 396/375, with a turbo 400 Chevy II against a HEMI car.I think it was a pure stock race. Anybody know anything about the car? Was it a Gibb COPO Nova, a real 68 L-78 or a clone? The car looks kind of odd with weird looking hubcaps on it.
Thanks, Mike |

Supposedly a real L78 4sp car, but the owner installed the beer-can heads, the TH400, and the poverty caps. The TH400 is out of a Camper-Special, I guess to get the 6bolt converter style of trans. He still has it, but never claims it to be an original L89 car. Nice car, has blue bench interior.
