Also, what is the air duct coming from the passengers side in the engine compartment??

Looks to be a fresh air intake setup as they're on both snorkels.

Maybe I'm out of touch, but I don't get it. Grumpy Jenkins, one of 56, prototype - WTF is that about? And I thought Cliff Peck Chev was in Little Rock Arkansas. A 66 Chevy II L79 with a replacement engine is not that unusual. It does look like a nice car.

I kinda wondered about the Cliff Peck graphic on the window too. My deuce had a metal emblem on the trunk. I'd be interested to here more about it, and the others. Schonye

The Block in the car is dated 1969 so It couldn't have been installed when new, also the CE vin is standard, no one had to pay extra to have it stamped on the block and it doesn't designate anything special as far as I can see.

As far as the protecto plate and Based on my experience The reissues due to dealer transfer or trades did not usually have all the option data included like the originals.

Looks like a cool car However

That is a cool Cliff Peck decal.I've always associated them as an Arkansas Dealership.Now Texas?
I know there was & still is a Bob Peck Chevrolet in Arlington Va.800 N. Glebe Zone 14-Dealer-305.

A few years back I had a n.o.s. Nova L-79 short block...date casting was 1969.It had it's own casting # for the block because of the recessed oil filter.So,GM offered a CE replacement for 66 L-79.
