1966 Nova SS L79 COPO options? Dealer options?
Hello
I bought a very nice 1966 Nova Chevy II SS L79.
Around 79k original miles. I am not a nova expert, and I am trying to gather info about this interesting car. It is numbers matching and has a lot of options on it. Are they dealer drag race package installed?
I am interested in any info anyone can come up with. I love trying to figure these old cars history's out.
Here are some things about it. The interior is all original. I have checked the numbers on the 327 L79 engine and 4 speed trans, black bucket seats, etc.. The cowl and vin numbers including the dates on the engine, trans, and 12 bolt rear with original 4.11 gears all match up correctly.
The shifter is the old Hurst 4 speed with center console, there is a sun tach, 12 bolt 4.11 posi rear, aluminum flywheel, blow proof bell housing, 4 speed trans, correct engine, fuel pump in the trunk, on the rear suspension it looks like slapper bars and a slightly moved in rear springs. 4 gauge cluster original Stewart Warner gauges that look like they were wired in in 1966. The car is from the Willow Run Michigan plant.
I am wondering if this car might have had this drag racing package put on at the Yenko Chevy Dealer or somewhere else like that.
I would love to find out all I can about the car.
