Unless something like the company that ORDERED the L79 1966 Nova wagons! I thought finally 1 of those surfaced after all these years.
Some websites claim Chevrolet built a number of 1965 Novas with the 327/365 HP Corvette motor.

Some claim there were 1969 427 COPO El Caminos.

The amount of disinformation on the internet is staggering.

When it comes to Chevrolet stats and specs, I like this reference. Go right to the source. It's a good starting point:

As part of my job, I used to have to review the information packets from an engineering perspective before they were published.

All of the full size truck documents from about 2000 - 2011 would have my stamp of approval.
