Default Re: World Record sale for a 1966 L-79 Nova Super Sport

This is not to pick on this car in any way, But I've had quite a few 66 Chevy II and I have two questions. The first is I've never seen the grill blacked out on the top where the rivets are. Is (was) that just on a black SS? And I've seen the chrome, and the body-color type used and I was under the impression the color cap was correct. Beautiful job, and a beautiful car, I was always a sucker for them in black. Although my real envy comes from looking at the perfect trim on that car, finding that stuff is like hitting the lottery (and you'd need it too, to pay for it).

As far as the Chevy II front ends go.... I can tell you from experience how bad they were. I rolled two of them from front end problems. NOTHING I ever did made them better, just different. They went straight OK as long as the front end didn't have a lot of travel, and wasn't too high. I had 90/10 shocks one one and it had such a range of movement that the toe changed so drastically that the front tires squealed. We won't get into cornering....
