Any help appreciated
Looking at what appears to be a pretty nice 68 L78 car, guy claims it is a real ss, but VIN says 114. My research says this is possible, other research says no. Have had 6 Novas over the years, just finishing a 71 now-this is not clear this time Drivetrain all matches on the 68 Comments welcome |

Should read 11427 for a V8. There is no SS designation after 67. Is this a 4spd car? What's the build date? If it's a turbo 400 call me, and don't listen to anyone else.
