How do you guys keep finding these great cars? Anyone have an idea how many L79's were standard Nova's compared to Super Sports? Talk about a sleeper

What a great car! They built fewer than 1800 L79 Nova Sport Coupes in 1966, so it's way rarer than the L79 Super Sport. Just for info, the 4 speed tranny would also have been an option. Chevy II L79's came standard with a 3 speed on the column. There were no L79 automatics. Does it have the F40 HD suspension? Many didn't. It would also have been an option.

5481 total L79 Chevy II's were built in the U.S. in 1966. 3547 were Super Sports, approx. 200 two door sedans, and a few wagons. Leaves just under 1800 Sport Coupes like this beauty.

There were 195 L79 Chevy II's built in Canada, of which approx 90-100 were SS's. They were also 63 Acadian L79s built by GM Canada.

John,

Great info...Thanks. Yes... Jody`s car is eqiupped with the F40 HD Suspension...I read it myself on the Bill of Sale.

So this would make 4 options....4 speed tranny, F40 HD suspension , tinted front windshield and push button radio.

Dan.

I am jealous. The blue interior is a great contrast to the white exterior.
