Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is proud to offer one of the most desirable Chevrolet muscle cars ever produced-a true 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova SS L79. Finding an authentic, matching-numbers L79 is becoming increasingly difficult, especially one that has retained its original high-performance drivetrain and remains remarkably true to factory specifications.

Power comes from the legendary matching-numbers 327 cubic-inch L79 V8, factory rated at 350 horsepower. Featuring an aggressive solid-lifter camshaft, high-compression internals, and exceptional breathing for its era, the L79 was one of Chevrolet's finest small-block performance engines. Shifting duties are handled by a 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the engaging driving experience that made these Novas feared on the street and respected at the drag strip.

According to the owner, all drivetrain numbers match everywhere they have been inspected, making this an exceptionally authentic example for collectors. The car underwent a high-quality frame-off restoration approximately ten years ago and has accumulated less than 1,000 miles since completion. It remains beautifully presented with outstanding paint, excellent body gaps, and an exceptionally clean undercarriage.

This Nova also retains the factory-correct equipment that makes an authentic L79 so special. As originally built, L79-equipped Novas were not available with power steering, power brakes, or factory air conditioning, reducing weight and maximizing performance. The result is the pure, mechanical driving experience Chevrolet engineers intended.

Finished in stunning Marina Red over a matching red bucket-seat interior, this SS is equipped with the factory center console, factory-style AM radio, auxiliary oil pressure and water temperature gauges, Rally wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, and all the classic styling cues that make the 1966 Nova one of Chevrolet's most iconic muscle cars.

Whether you're adding to a serious collection or searching for one of the finest small-block muscle cars Chevrolet ever produced, this authentic matching-numbers L79 Nova represents a rare opportunity. Cars like this seldom come to market and continue to be among the most sought-after Chevrolets of the 1960s.
