Rare 67 Nova SS L-79
 

I thought I'd list this here for all you non-NNN members. I don't own this car but it is listed in the latest issue of Nova Times. This is how the add reads. 1967 Nova Super Sport, 1 of reportedly 6 L-79 cars built in 1967. 4 speed black/black rust free original sheet metal documented with Protect-o-plate and owner history. $26,500 (502)964-8473 days. I don't know if the car is still for sale so call if your interested. The L-79 option means the motor is a 327/350 hp.

The Nova now has a new home.

That sounds like it would be a quick little car. Does anybody know the rated H.P. and quarter mile times?

The 66 was rated at 350HP, I seen a lot of them run back then. With slicks,gears, and headers they would get into the 12s. They ran in A/S. I think the few that were made in 67 may have had different intake manifolds, carbs and air cleaners (They may have used the open element as opposed to the duel snorkel?)

There was recently a 67 Nova L-79 featured in the November 2002 issue of Nova Times. The car appears to be a gold color with a black top. It is a non-SS car. I'll quote what it said in the article. Maybe somebody can post the article. I don't have any means to.

The general consensus is all 1967 L-79's had chrome valve covers, and a chrome open element air cleaner. Also the L-79's without air conditioning did not have a fan guard or clutch fan like the 1966 L-79. Both documented Novas had Quadrajet carburetors with cast iron intakes verified by the info on the protect-o plate. Both these cars also had Saginaw 4 speed transmissions The assembly manual shows the standard fan blade with a fan blade spacer. The 1967 L-79 could have had a ten or twelve bolt rear end. The 1966 L-79 came only with the 12 bold rear end. It is quite obvious a lot of "detuning" was done on the 1967 L-79 compared to the 1966.

The article was written by one of the owners Bill Brackin of Texas. See pages 34, 35, 36 of the November 2002 issue of Nova Times.

They were probably rated at 325HP, like the 67 Chevelles.
