The Chevrolet Chevy II/Nova was a small automobile manufactured by Chevrolet, and produced in five generations for the 1962 through 1979, and 1985 through 1988 model years. Nova was the top model in the Chevy II lineup through 1968. The Chevy II nameplate was dropped, Nova becoming the nameplate for the 1969 through 1979 models

Models is correct, I looked it up.........

Don't believe there was much difference between the 68 and 69 of the looks. I had a new 68 for a year until I flipped it.

One of yours Robert?

 

[rstreet]

Actually not! Was the end guy on driver's side's car and could be an example of you can't hurt a bunch of drunks. Wasn't a high speed roll over. Big ditch!

What year was the car?
Cool sideburns.....

I never thought about taking pictures of the shit I wrecked, only the shiny pics after wax on wax off. In hindsight kinda wish I would have.

Of all the cars I had in the day, never had a SS...................

Ok, I just noticed.

#29 post of Richards shows the ChevyII emblem on the hood and there are other examples of that also. .

#23 post of Robert's has a bowtie in the middle of the emblem of the hood, can't see Chevy II there? Maybe?? Then Robert says on post #23 it was a "68". Now that's got me wondering again.

I thought it was a 68 but that was several "moons" ago I am not as young as I once was! I can be corrected on this memory!

Maybe these were the only two 68's made without the Chevy II emblemView attachment 51457 ..........probably not, looks like i'm wrong again. Here's the only pic of my Nova I can find.

The website below has several photos and info about the Fred Gibb COPO 1968 Nova SS cars.
The 1968 Nova SS had at least 2 unique differences from the 1969-1972 Nova SS.
1...CHEVY II on the front of the hood
2...chrome block letters SUPER SPORT on the bottom of the front fenders aft of the wheel opening.

Please scroll down on the website for the photos

It has a 69 hood and front bumper.

More info. Identifying a 1968 Nova is the simplest of these years– of course as long as the car is still in its original configuration. 1968 was the only year to have the Chevy II logo on the front of the hood. Another easy way to tell right off the bat is to look at the ignition switch. The ignition switch on the ’68s were actually on the dash, not on the steering column like the ’69-’72 cars. If still in doubt, the other key identifier is the front marker light. 1968 was the only year to have a clear lens, unlike the amber versions on the ’69-’72 years. It also had the engine size casted on the marker bezel.
