Re: Poor L79 Nova DOA !
The Mustang beside it didn't fair to well either! I wonder if both cars were from the same collision [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: Poor L79 Nova DOA !
If the Chevy II driver was wearing a seat belt, he probably survived because the passenger compartment doesn't look too badly damaged.

Re: Poor L79 Nova DOA !
I guy I worked with had worked at Willow Run. His job was to take the cars from the roll test to the storage lot. He got an L79 off the rolls and so did his buddy. They were racing them out to the lot and t-boned each other. Oops, 2 cars down and looking for new jobs.
Imagine the dealer having to tell the customer - well, you car is going to be another week more....

Even nback in the day when these cars were common,that engine would have been well known as a piece to have,especially in late 66 or 67 after Grump started mopping up in A/S with it. A 12 bolt or Muncie would be more "dime a dozen",but I bet and L-79 would have been quickly spotted.
