Looking For Production Info on the 67 L79 Nova

Looking For Production Info on the 67 L79 Nova.
I know that there were only a handful (5-7) made and I am looking for the production details. How was it different from the 66 L79? Is there Chevrolet documentation on these cars or is it just collected bits and pieces?

For one thing, they had a cast iron intake and a quadrajet. There were some pictures on camaros.net or chevelles.com a while back. I could try and send you the pictures but they're too big for me to attach here.

I was “told” that only one has been documented. Is the owner a member here or does anyone know him/her? I would like to pick their brain just a little. A guy contacted me and is trying to find out if his car the real deal or not. It is sounding like it is a 67SS with a 66 L79 motor.

I recall reading there were 6 or 7 built and 1, maybe 2 documented cars exist?.
What's the build date of the '67 in question as I believe that's key?.
Best may be to get ahold of Bob the L79 registry guy from BC Canada who sometimes posts here, very knowledgeable and a great guy who's helped me and a few others here in the past..
I forget his handle on here, anyone?.

I believe there is a gold one in AZ, a Nova collector has it along with some '68 COPO Novas and some Yenko Deuces - his name escapes me at the moment....

Here are some of the numbers
engine pad - F1103ZI
hand stamped also on engine pad - 113276
engine casting 3971362
build - 06D
heads - 3782461
trans - 3885010
intake - 38901190

This is all from a phone call to the owner. He is supposed to be sending me pics of the stampings and other pics of the car.
