How do you guys keep finding these great cars? Anyone have an idea how many L79's were standard Nova's compared to Super Sports? Talk about a sleeper

5481 total L79 Chevy II's were built in the U.S. in 1966. 3547 were Super Sports, approx. 200 two door sedans, and a few wagons. Leaves just under 1800 Sport Coupes like this beauty.

There were 195 L79 Chevy II's built in Canada, of which approx 90-100 were SS's. They were also 63 Acadian L79s built by GM Canada.

What a great car! They built fewer than 1800 L79 Nova Sport Coupes in 1966, so it's way rarer than the L79 Super Sport. Just for info, the 4 speed tranny would also have been an option. Chevy II L79's came standard with a 3 speed on the column. There were no L79 automatics. Does it have the F40 HD suspension? Many didn't. It would also have been an option.

Doesn't get any better than that !!!!! (Next to Impala's)

Super car,

I'd love to see your collection some time Jody, I live about a mile from you! Sure would be an awesome experience!!!!!!!!

I am jealous. The blue interior is a great contrast to the white exterior.
