Default L78 Nova question

I was looking at a 70 Nova today it was a matching #L78 4 spd car. The car had the cumputer broacast card with it, in the lower left corner there was a box marked copo with ZJO in the box. Does anybody know what that means? Thanks

It's a 68 Chevy Super Sport.. Seriously, that's one of the South America / Mexico wherever the hell produced ones.. They didn't call them Nova there because Nova in spanish means No Go... So they just called the car a Chevy. Didn't they buy the tooling and produce the early Nova body style up till like '78 or something? Still called it a Chevy though. I think most all of them has the straight six too.. So do I get a cookie?

No cookie for you Ed. It appears that's just an "urban legend." Nova=No go

I would like to know what's the story behind the 4 door SS Nova pictured in the ad above. Did they really produce those and sell them in foreign countries? How about a 4 door L-78, talk about sleeper.

I checked Nova Resource .org, and didn't find ZJ0 listed anywhere...
Sorry no help.

Either way about the "Nova" meaning in espaniol.... I do know I'm right about this car being called a Chevy in the
'southernmost land' and this is probably a 6cyl model 4dr with SS trim.. Am I right Rick?

Thanks Zman. Rick The one I looked at looked like that car minus the front gaurds. Anybody else was that copo box maybe used to identify something else like tires or wheels.

Southland = Argentina, there is a large contingency of Nova enthusiasts down there with very unique looking Novas. They are a mix-n-match of Gen I and Gen III parts, pretty neat!
