1966 Chevrolet Nova SS L-79 'The Giant Killer' We are proud to offer this exceptional 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS L-79---one of the most formidable and respected muscle cars of the 1960s. Often referred to as 'The Giant Killer,' the L-79 Nova combined lightweight performance with Chevrolet's legendary high-revving small block, earning its reputation both on the street and strip. This numbers-matching example is extremely well documented, supported by an impressive collection of original paperwork, receipts, and photographs confirming its authenticity and history. Included is the original handwritten GM Retail Order Form from Gloves Cities Chevrolet in Gloversville, New York, ordered for retail delivery to the original buyer in Tacoma, Washington. Also included are the original Owner's Manual and Protect-O-Plate, still attached, showing a delivery date of May 22, 1966. Further documentation includes an NCRS Shipping Data Report, along with numerous receipts covering replacement parts and professional body shop work performed over the years. Of particular note is documentation for a professional engine rebuild of the legendary L-79 327ci / 350-horsepower Turbo-Fire V8. During the rebuild, the original block was magnafluxed and bored .030-over, with the rotating assembly professionally balanced. Photographs taken during the process clearly show the correct casting numbers on both the block and cylinder heads, which were also reworked to include hardened valve seats for improved durability. Power is delivered through the original Muncie M21 close-ratio 4-speed transmission, which has also been refreshed. Out back, the car retains its original 12-bolt Posi-traction rear differential with 3.73 gears, complete with documented embossed markings verifying the correct build date. Originally ordered in New York and delivered to Washington State, this Nova later spent many years in Arizona and California before being acquired by us in 2019. Since then, it has resided in a private collection, carefully preserved and maintained. Opportunities to own a true, documented L-79 Nova SS are increasingly rare. This is a chance to acquire an iconic and historically significant 1960s muscle car---one that perfectly embodies the spirit and performance that earned it the nickname 'The Giant Killer.'
