Re: NOVA L79 WAGON????
 

Brent,
That's not just some schmuck who worked at Willow Run. JohnZ worked in the biz for 30+ years, retiring as a plant manager. He's not just relying on memory, he kept notes too. Very few people's memory I believe, but I believe John's.

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

Good point Marlin - I'am wondering about the L79 blocks that were factory in Chevelle looking back.

I pointed out the Nova discussion to JohnZ and he's posted on that discussion. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

The engine pad stamping on the Ebay L-79 wagon is dead on correct. The rear end to the Wagon looks to have been there forever,like the traction bars.Try and find a correctly dated 3:31 12 bolt posi(standard for a L-79)and make it look like the rest of the underneath of that wagon.
I guess the unrestored L-79 wagon in Orange, Ca. is also a fake.

John - Thanks again for login on and chatting with us. Please stick around and chat with us to resolve some burning issues that revolve around this question of,"Did they make a L79 Wagon". With someone who experienced it first hand, I think we all who care, are lined up and have many specific questions. Again, please do stick around and chat !!

Kurt - Please please don't put words in my mouth. I amd not calling anyone a "Schmuck", I as well as everyone who is "into cars" has heard stories from engines, to racing to oddities. Seriously, please don't try to create a problem or anything between someone who is very curious as to the L79 wagon thing (ME) and someone who is probably pretty close to an expert (John).
