These little cars were true sleepers...they were plenty fast stock...but, you add a factory aluminum hi-rise, Holley, solid cam, some gears and tracton bars...and watch out. I think they are one of the neatest cars out there...lot's of BB guys got shut down by that little motor

Sully I have seen more 68 nova's pop up for sale in the last 6 months. Maybe they are in demand. But I think not.
From the pictures the car don't look that bad but pictures can hide a lot. The car is definetly worthy of a restoration but I think the reserve might be a litle high. Only time will tell! I wish the seller the best of luck with the auction. The only thing that has got me stumped is the motor was replaced after a couple of weeks. So does the car have a Ce replacement block? I was told it had the EP code on the engine pad so I am confused?

Thanks for the interest guys. This is my car on ebay. Jason,
yes the car has a CE stamped block. The original short block was replaced within a couple of weeks of delivery according to the original owners. Jeff's site has it listed as having the original EP block which it does not have. I do have the protect-o-plate which clearly shows the EP suffix and the heavy duty 3 speed.

Please feel free to contact me if anyone has questions.

Thanks,
Mike

Here's another one...a rough roller but GM Canada documented and looks like it'll end up as a rebody if anything?.

Man Sully is correct they are coming out of the wood work for sure!!!! I don't think Jeff has that one on his L79 registry either? Mike that makes sense now. I was talking to Jeff and he said he had the EP code of your motor on the web site. Didn't realize that was the code from the pop. Whish you luck in the auction.

Jason

I saw that car in person at the Barrie Flea Market, and it is rough.
If anyone is interested though, the guy only loves a few blocks from my house.

Could you get a 12 bolt in a non L79 '68? I got my rearend housing (12 bolt, non posi 3.23's if I remember right) from a '68 with 3 speed floor shifter. No engine, very rough. Jusrt curious if it could have been one. It may still be sitting up in the woods but, was likely junked last year when scrap prices were up.
