The 195 HP V/8 was not an optional engine in 1967. If you wanted a V/8 in the Chevy II 100 series you ordered a 114, in a Nova 400 it was 116, and SS 118. There was a designated V/8 model number for each series and the 195 HP/283 was the engine all V/8 cars came with unless an optional V/8 was ordered. Four and six cylinders were similarly designated by model number. The engines on the order sheet are the optional engines. Hope this makes sense. Bob

Man Dave, you've got a lot of cool documents. I guess your not named nova boy for nothing.
Thanks Dave and mark for making me feel better about doing the tires I'd like even though it's a bit of a stretch. I think the correct rallys, marina blue paint, and redlines are going to look pretty cool on this car. I appreciate all the help. |

Oh, and those 67 order forms are cool. I'd read u couldn't order an L79 in 67 but hadn't ever seen the sheets before. That is pretty neat.
