Sporting all of its original components and hardware, the engine in this Chevy II has never been out of the car and only has 1,958 original miles.

Only 5481 L79s were built, but not all of them were SS models, making this o highly unusual and desirable car. That lightweight body shell was perfect for racers (then and now), and what better compliment to it than a high-revving small block that cranked out well over one horsepower per cubic inch? Of course, that heavy-duty engine meant that you needed a heavy-duty drivetrain to match, which this car carries, and its all matching numbers. 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova L79 Designed as a budget commuter car, careful selections on the order form could transform the Nova into a street brawler with few equals.
