That vin stamping is 100% correct. The '66 Willow Grn L-79 Nova I found that was sitting since 1970 had the exact same vin stamping.It S around towards the front of the pad in the same exact way,same location. There is a '66 wagon L-79 in Orange County.

The vin isn't preceded by a '1' for the division? I'm going on later sequence procedures, but thought that that '1' meant Chevrolet.

If they did,here is one example where they didn't.
I believe this wagon is the real deal.

Have seen some 67's without the "1" as well.

Wow, I didn't realize they stamped them like that from the factory. But then I don't follow much outside of the Camaros. Still a cool car with that engine in a wagon.

I certainly do not dispute what you've found, but when one considers the mechanics of that stamping process, it's hard to imagine on a production line. Eight different number or letter stamps picked up one at a time and eight hits with the hammer?? Definitely makes for overkilling a simple job when the gang stamp is so much more efficient https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I'm no L79 guru, but it sure looks strange! Are all of the L79 blocks, and/or Nova blocks, stamped like that?

As DueceMark has started and we have had a couple threads on this in the last couple of months (see through this link)

http://stevesnovasite.com/forums/sho...427#post200427

...I for one would contest it !! Not to start an argument or problem, but to try and put an axe in it. Weather to stir the pot or help resolve the question, "Did they make a 2nd Gen L79 Wagon"?

As Mark brought up, the exhaust is where I see the problem and would contest that fact that I don't believe they made any L79 Wagon's. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif
