67 Nova Boy: The last two paragraphs of post 538754 from cook dw.

I do not doubt the existence of the cars actually being built at all. I am curious of the reasons that GM built the cars late in the year with the engine induction similar to the 68 L-79. I have been aware of the two cars that Dave Duoer (sp) now owns for a few years.

I'd really love to hear the definitive answer on WHY these 6 cars were built. Also, why did they use the Q-jet and Iron intake when the Vette and Chevelle L-79 still used the Holley in '67?

It's a huge mystery to me as to why they'd produce this handful of cars at the end of a model year when the '68 Chevy II was going to be an all-new design. Especially when you consider that the '67 Chevy II 327 L-79 had several unique features (block, oil pump, pan, windage tray, intake, carb, etc) that made it completely different from other L-79s being produced that year. It wasn't like they could just stab in an L-79 destined for a Vette or Chevelle. I've heard several theories and none make sense to me.

Doing a little searching this morning and ran across the L79 registry.. Its shows 3 67 Chevy II's that are registered.

National L79 Registry

One can assume at this point that the Jack Duer car is one of the ones on the list. But where are the other 2?



I venture to say this is not one of them.






NOTE: This is not the car I originally was asking value about..

[67 Nova Boy]

Yes...this is one of the two that are known with Docs. This is Dan Millers 67 Nova L79

That's one of 'em, Dan's car is a really good one.

[cook_dw]

Ok which are these then?

1967 Chevy II Spec. High Perf., A.I.R., A/C ZG *
1967 Chevy II Spec. High Perf. ZI *
1967 Chevy II Spec. High Perf., A/C ZJ *


* Only 6 Chevy IIs are reported to have been built according to Chevrolet accumulative production totals

Their website is a little misleading. It shows 3 that they are saying are L79's but then when you CLICK HERE

It shows this car

Wow! Another 1967 L79 comes out of the woodwork. I got an e-mail from Jack Duer a few months ago and he's sold his car to Dan Miller, so Dan now has two 1967 L79s. Both these cars are POP documented. Jack's car also had additional factory paperwork.

A few years ago, another 1967 L79 surfaced in Oklahoma City. The POP and original delivery sheet were still with the car. Unfortunately, the engine is gone, but the original 4 speed tranny and rearend remain. Body build date is 06D and the POP shows a suffix code with a mid June date and ZI engine.

It's hard to believe that if only six of these cars were built, up to four are still in existence. In my discussions with Jack Duer, he thinks the GM production figures may be incorrect and more than six were built. Interesting possibility.

Incidentally, the question comes up from time to time about 1967 L79s built in Canada. GM Canada informed me a number of years ago that they didn't build any 1967 Chevy II or Acadian L79s.
