Default Re: What is the value of a 1967 L79 Chevy II...

Interesting. Wondering if there were a lot of 66 L79's. Not to say this one I had was or wasn't, but like I said, this post has got me thinking of the 66 I had. Is there somewhere on line or somebody here that has the info I would need to have if I was to locate this car?

There were 5481 Chevy II L79s built in the U.S. in 1966. 3547 were Super Sports. The remainder were Sport Coupes, 2 door sedans and a few wagons. The car in your picture is a 1966 Chevy II Nova bench seat Sport Coupe (non SS). If you still have the VIN for this car, you could try a search on some of the Chevy II websites. Stevesnovasite.com is a good dedicated Chevy II site.

Where are your numbers from?

It's been my observation that Chevy motors can only be determined by total production and not by model. This is the first time I've seen reference to different Chevy II models. Is &quot;3547&quot; documented?

The 5481 number has been around since the early 80's. The other numbers have been around for years, too. I believe the 5481 is documented. Don't know about the others. GM Canada has engines by model (144 L79 SS Chevy IIs/SD Acadians), so I assume these figures might exist for U.S. built cars, too. Or not?
