Dan actually has 2 1968 L-78 Nova's for sale. 1 is White & sold at Reedman Chev and I think it has the orig drivtrain. The 2nd is Teal Blue, sold at Stockton Chev, has original Calif black plate and has an alum headed L88. Both are 4 speeds

No idea what the price range is or what level of resto is needed

I think only 617 L78 Nova's were produced in 1968, far less than 69-70

I have talked with Dan multiple times about these rare 1 year only 1968 BB novas. He is very knowledgeable about 68 novas. I have never seen the 2 cars he has listed but from what I am told by Dan they are the real deal, no question about it. He has a lot of history on his cars and he was the third and now the seventh owner of his white one. How cool is that! If you are looking for a 1968 BB nova either one of his cars should be considered. For the record 667 375 hp cars where built 50 where copo cars. So Dan actually has 2 of 617 cars built. Enough said.

Jasons is a rare 3speed l79

I sure do! The 3 speed was factory default, you had to up grade to a 4 speed. It was an option. Actually my 3 speed is a borg warner heavy duty 3 speed M13. Only 317 Novas got this transmission in 1968. It is actually dated April of 1967. It had to of been a left over from the 67 model year since my 68 L79 is a June built car. Very cool and rare cars! I think only 16 or so are acounted for.
