I think that the "L-79" option did make a Chevy(that was equipped with it)a "Supercar". Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins totally knocked the NHRA Stock Eliminator Class on it's "hind end" when he brought his Chevy II to the track during the '66? and '67 season. I bought a "vintage" magazine (a "Hemmings" publication) at "Barrett Jackson" that had an article that road tested a L-79 equipped, 1965 Chevelle Malibu (non-SS)convertible. The little (Hydraulic-cammed) 327 motor was really very innovative.
I wanted to make everyone aware that a Chevelle that Frank Payne of "Flying A Restorations" is featured in the most current issue of "Muscle Car Review". The car is a 1967 Chevelle Malibu (non SS) L-79 car. Nice job Frank!
