Lee that Black Nova is a 68 396 and I am going to assume a 396 375 Hp car 1 of the 617 built! Very rare. Who’s car was it ? Looks like a black car? The reason I know it is a 68 car is the super sport on the front fender dog leg is only 1968 nova!

Very COOOOL!

Oh man Lee do you know what you had! That was a very limited production car 1 of 617 1968 novas built with the L78 option!
What ever happened to the car? What Month did you buy it? Did Byrne Bros. Chevrolet in White Plains,N.Y. sell a lot of muscle cars? Was there any other 1968 BB Nova’s on the lot? I am going to ask this but did you know who might of owned my 1968 L78 nova. I have tracked owner history back to 1978 time frame in pleasant valley area. The car looks like this most likely with out the ralley wheels. It is a unique color combination Sequioa green with gold bucket seat interior. I would like to chat with you on that dealer you bought your car at. Can you give me a call on my cell 518-301-1486. This is what my car looks like.
