Pretty hard to top that car.

Surprised how much the trade in allowance was on the 66 Nova he gave up to buy this car!

I be leave it was an almost new trade in, then again remember the Canadian prIce foR a car was a hell of a lot more than the U.S. We here in Canada are still being ripped off.
THats why I purchase my vehicles in the US.

The question on my mind is what would this car be worth on the market,keeping in mind that
The motion transplant 427 has not been verified by motion,I only have the witness signed letter
From the orig owner and abundant history for this car. I also have eye witnesses that knew of the transplant back in the day.

Just by taking a guess and without the official verification from Motion I would say in the $125-175K. I realize that is a large range but it would vary on the degree of restoration. From the pictures I would say on the higher end of that range.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Thanks for your opinion Darrell </span>

No expence was spared for the restoration all matching numbers and lots of NOS parts
Did all the work myself except the body and paint. I was surprized at how many of its orig parts were still on the car when I restored it
11 months full almost full time,loved every minute.

The 1966 Chevy II was an L79 according to Barry.
