Default '66 Chevy II L79, 1,960 Orig Miles

Pretty cool if the mileage claim is true. However, it sure looks to me like the car has been completely restored, but I could be wrong. Would also be nice to see some drivetrain stamps and pictures of claimed original docs.

Nonetheless I could really get into a red-on-red L79 '66 Chevy II.

Question 66 Nova...

Why would a car with that little mileage need to be repainted

looks to be restored to me too. Is that the factory exhaust? I thought they had a transverse single muffler?

----I'm absolutely sure that no 66 Nova ever came with chambered exhaust, or Hurst shifter. However, a 66 would have had regular dual exhaust. With that said I'd love to own it......Bill S

Pretty sure the factory system was a true dual with resonators at the rear...I checked out the Gardner site...see the link.

Almost sounds too good to be true. I expected to read the term “ex-drag car” in the ad but no such thing was mentioned. I will say that in my travels I have ran across (and even owned) low-mileage cars cars like this that have been wrecked many, many years ago and when the owner didn’t have the money to properly repair them, they end up parked for decades. Not saying that’s the case here but it’s definitely a scenario.

It appears that the quarters have been replaced in the past.

My observation as well that a lot of "ex-drag cars" end up in the 1000 to 6000 ish mile range.
