Default My new 1968 Nova L79 project.

I just picked up my new project, A 1968 L79 Nova. Anyone recognize it? It came with all the original paper work, title, 1968 registration, broadcast sheet and pop. It has a factory replacement warranty block, the original 3 speed transmission and original BT- rear-end. Yep and it's a factory air car! I am really looking forward to this project. It’s funny how things work out I was looking at this car last year but just couldn’t come up with the money. Now it resides in my garage one year later.

Enjoy!!!!!

so the original owner was trying to fake out people with the 396 fender badges?

nice survivor, I would leave it the way it is ...

cool / odd option combinations: three speed, factory a/c and the high performance 327, sounds like something my dad would have ordered, he would want the ac but wouldn't pay extra for the 4 speed ... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Why does it have 396 fender badges if it is an original small block car?

The car runs and has brakes but will need a trunk pan. The back window was leaking water for years. It is on the 2 do list.
