Re: World Record sale for a 1966 L-79 Nova Super Sport
Not only was this a World Record Price, but it now becomes a World Record Price for a color change on a classic Muscle Car.
A nice restoration indeed. Dan

The NNN was a raffle car, and it did have AC. The car had Texas plates, and I believe that's where it was bought. They raffled off four cars until someone complained that it was illegal so Wayne stopped doing it.

Chevy did know that and that is why the X-bodies exported down there were called Chevrolet 400 and/or Chevy. That removes any possible issue between the one word "Nova" (meaning birth of a star) and the two word term "no va" (meaning no go). |
