This stunning vehicle has undergone a rotisserie restoration completed to the highest standards. The restoration features production date correct L-78 heads, intake, and axle. It is beautifully painted in the rare Code E-E Fathom Blue Poly (Basecoat Clearcoat), which matches the trim tag perfectly. All chrome and stainless steel components are in excellent condition.
The Muncie 4-speed transmission, case #660 Code P8C15, has the matching VIN clearly stamped on the side. The vehicle also boasts a correct L-78 12-bolt posi-traction rear end with a 4.56 gear, axle tube #BW 0619. The correct L-78 intake is #3933163, with both left and right heads numbered #3919840.

The car has been restored within the last few years by prior ownership and is beautifully detailed throughout. It comes with restored original steel wheels, base hubcaps, and new radial redline tires.
The interior features a black cloth and vinyl setup with the correct bench seat, as well as a modern digital radio. With only 36,663 miles showing on the odometer and approximately 450 miles driven since the restoration, this vehicle is a true collector’s item.
The level of detail given to this rare 1968 Chevy II Nova SS is evident in its no-expense-spared rotisserie restoration. It is extremely hard to find a car with such correct components, and while it may be considered slightly over-restored, it is in show-quality condition and drives perfectly, delivering tons of power and heart-pounding exhilaration.
**Historical Significance:**
The 1968 Chevy II Nova SS 396 4-speed cars are notably harder to restore than their later sister models from 1969 and 1970. The 1968 model year is significant for several reasons:
– First year for this body style
– Only year for the unique dashboard and ignition placement
– Only year for the SS dashboard pad and foil badges
– Only year for the specific ashtray design and cardboard box inserted in the glove box
– Only year for SuperSport
