Does anyone know the 66' Nova L79

[JayR]

This car has been for sale for a number of months and has been discussed in depth over on Stevesnovasite. Over all, the car appears to be outstanding, but isn't perfect. A big mistake is the bright chrome console top. These consoles were a dull finish described in factory literature as 'brushed chrome'. The cowl tag also is suspect. It does not show the interior sheet metal color code. It also is missing the 3/16 inch hole drilled in the tag just before the letter 'B' in Body by Fisher. This hole indicated that the upper mounting points for shoulder belts had been installed on the roof rails. All Chevy IIs built after February 1, 1966, had these mounts. The tag on this 02D car should have the hole. Amongst a number of small nit picking items are incorrect battery caps (should be black with yellow lettering) and chrome gas cap (should be body color). There are no pictures of any of the stampings in the ad. Anyone seriously considering this car should get all of these and have an expert look at them.
