Totally agree with the above! Just about anything was possible in the years these cars were built, but in the case of this L79, it says it's been restored. Those are not the original wheels, so I believe they were painted to match the body during the resto. The door sill paint corrected an ugly body color line that broke up the black rocker molding below the lower door trim on light colored cars. I don't know why anybody would want it removed. A Lemonwood Yellow '66 Nova SS would have come with this paint. I'm sure it was over looked in the restoration, which wasn't unusual.
While many instructions were just hand written on an order form (and sometimes got done), most factory deletes required an RPO code. To get a standard equipment heater deleted required RPO code C48. In Chevy IIs and Novas, radios were never standard equipment, so there was no delete, so a car described by an owner as radio delete is a misnomer. The car either didn't get a factory optional radio ordered or an optional radio got taken out at some point.
