NOVA L79 WAGON????

As DueceMark has started and we have had a couple threads on this in the last couple of months (see through this link)

...I for one would contest it !! Not to start an argument or problem, but to try and put an axe in it. Weather to stir the pot or help resolve the question, "Did they make a 2nd Gen L79 Wagon"?

As Mark brought up, the exhaust is where I see the problem and would contest that fact that I don't believe they made any L79 Wagon's.

Brent,
That's not just some schmuck who worked at Willow Run. JohnZ worked in the biz for 30+ years, retiring as a plant manager. He's not just relying on memory, he kept notes too. Very few people's memory I believe, but I believe John's.

Hey guys, I think I have one! I’ve been looking for a clean wagon and I picked this up last week. It’s a blue 67’ with a Muncie and an L79. I’ve been guessing perhaps there was an engine swap in its past, but the numbers are pointing to it being legit? Not sure how to post photos…

My knowledge is limited too. I did read that 6-L79 engines from 1966 were found in the assembly plant, complete with the same Winters intake and Holley this car has, and were installed into Chevy II’s in 1967? Dunno? It’s gonna be fun to drive…

I was looking for a clean wagon for an LS swap when I came across this one. I brought it home and begin discovering how rare it is? 362 engine code, 4-speed, date codes etc..
Now, it’s a “don’t touch or change anything” project, which is okay. If it’s a real L79 car I’ll preserve it, I just want help knowing…
