POP shows a Zone office as the first owner

There's a GM Canada documented 1966 L79 Chevy II 100 two door sedan in the Canadian L79 Registry that shows the dealer as GM Canada Product Stock-Oshawa, Ontario. It was built on July 5, 1966, the final day of 1966 production at Oshawa. It was the 10th last Chevy II off the assembly line and likely the last L79 built in Canada. Appears GM Canada wanted to keep it, although it eventually ended up in private hands, but is still in southern Ontario. Unfortunately, it's provenance got lost over the years. The L79/M20/12 bolt drivetrain was replaced with a 350CID/M21/10 bolt, color changed from E code Royal Mist Metallic (Danube Blue in the U.S.) with blue interior to a light green with black upholstery. In 1966, there were only 133 V/8 Chevy II two door sedans built in Canada. We estimate fewer than two dozen were L79s. A car GM Canada let get away.
