'67 L-79 Chevy II, One of Six, with Docs

[LT1vette]

Now I'm real confused

[cook_dw]

The number of L79 67's has been said by many that follow these cars could be closer to 10-12 cars total built. I know there are at least 5 or 6 accounted for. Only 2 (IIRC) have their original engines. All mid to late June thru early July, qjet carb on iron intake, 12 bolt with 3.07 gear, and Saginaw trans. I'm going off memory so I might not be 100% on my thoughts. There have also been some think that the pop's were misstamped or a few too many and we all know the pop's aren't 100% error proof.

I'm not throwing shade on this car as its all rumors and/or intelligent assumptions. I give them all pause and have my own opinion on these 67 L79 cars but I don't own one and but if I ever do I know the one it will be.


Good luck with the sale Joel. Its a good car IMHO.

So I checked the production#s of the 66&67's. I know of lots of 327-350 cars here in Canada. I was unaware of the low #s for the 67. With the 2 years being so similar in appearance I just presumed there were lots 0f 327-350 cars around...

In 66, there were a lot more than 6 or 7 L79 Novas. In 67, a whole different story. For many years, most people were highly skeptical that ANY 67 L79 Novas existed.

Might help.

‘

What of ‘66 L79 Canadian Acadian production, is 63 Units correct also what’s confirmed of ‘67 Acadian #’s?
‘66 L79 Nova Production @ 5000+ may be correct but always seems more than you’d think, like ‘70 LS6 ‘Velles.

I know several people that bought brand new ‘66 L79’s. They were cheap, easy to find and were referred to as “350 horse Chevy II’s” or the “Vette motor Nova”.

Thats a bad car. I know of a 66 or 67 L-79 car local to me that I once checked the #s and it was the real deal. i don't remember what year. However it is the exact same color combo as this one. Now I got to go see. I work with the guy and he bought it off another guy that sold it to him when he retired about 6 years ago. It was his first car.Tune in.

I have seen people say all the 67 ChevyII L79's were Saginaw M20 4-spds. But the Chart in post # 16 above shows 2 M21's in 67. That suggests 4 M20's and 2 Muncie M21's.
