Re: 1966 Nova L79 Question
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: JayR</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The figure commonly published is 5481 L79 Chevy IIs built in 1966. Additionally, there are published sources that state 3457 of those were Super Sports and 200 were 2 door sedans. The remainder would be 2 door Sport Coupes and a handful of wagons. There were also 195 Chevy II L79 cars built in Canada and 63 Acadians.

Those numbers are more in line with what I thought as far as the over 5000 built. I know it is marketing, but when you twist the numbers to this extent, it is a lie. According to the write up "Just 200 L79 Novas were built before the option was inexplicably dropped the following year, making examples such as this prize winning Nova SS coupe rare indeed. This just seems to be so far from the truth that it can't be construed as anything but a lie.
oh wait a min. I just saw this "Built during the 3rd week of January in 1966" Maybe there were 200 built that week.
