68'69 diff.

is there any obvious difference between the 1968 and 1969 nova models? mine is supposedly a '69, my taillight and turn light lenses say 68... but i don't want to find the title and look:sleep:

I just learned this....68 is a 1 year car.69-72 were pretty much the same.Tons of stuff different on a 68.You might want to pull off those 68 lenses and sell them.They might bring big money??Put the correct 69's on there and pocket the rest of the money(put it into you're motor)bm

What's the VIN#?

uh, now that i think... i know the first five are 11469

The 6th digit tells ya the year.

Seems to me both 69 & 69 lenses say 68 on them because they used them for 2 years. The dash is gonna be the most obvious difference.

1968 had ignition in dash, three post steering wheel, unique door panels, and seats. heater controls on the left side of dash, small matching emblems on door panels and right side of dash pad, white side marker lights on front fenders, nova emblems on quarter panels. 1968 novas were in my opinion the best year.

From what I have saw on trim parts like tail lights. If the part didn't change from one year to the nest the part number stayed the same on the part. The tail lights in my 79 Blazer were the same as a 73 Blazer. The part numbers were the same until they changed.

I think the tail lights are identical in 68 and 69.

On the exterior, the headlight bezels on the 68 do not have the hole to use for adjusting the lights.

6th digit is 9... the whole thing is: 114699W529178

All the lights on my 69 say 68 on the lenses.
Another difference is the 68s had Chevy II markings front and back where 69 changed to Nova.

Yes, 68 and 69 lenses were the same. I think the tail lights were made in 1968 and used it for two years (68 n 69)

BTW, welcome to the site Nenova. I live in DeWitt (about 40 miles south of Lincoln) and I have 1970 Nova :)

yes, nenova, welcome!

I am pretty sure the lenses always show 1 year before the model year of the vehicle. My 71 lenses say 70 and my 72's say 71. Has to do with when the lenses were actually produced.
