Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is proud to offer one of the most desirable small-block muscle cars Chevrolet ever produced-an authentic 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova SS equipped with its original, matching-numbers L79 327/350 horsepower V8.
Finding a genuine L79 Nova has become increasingly difficult, but finding one that retains its original matching-numbers drivetrain and original factory documentation is even more uncommon. Included with this Nova is its original Chevrolet Owner Protection Plan booklet complete with the original Protect-O-Plate, documenting the car's factory identification information, original selling dealer, and original delivery date. According to the Protect-O-Plate, this Nova was delivered new by Chip Barwick Chevrolet in Memphis, Tennessee on April 20, 1966, providing an outstanding level of provenance collectors appreciate.
Power comes from the legendary matching-numbers L79 327 cubic-inch V8, factory rated at 350 horsepower and featuring Chevrolet's high-performance solid-lifter camshaft, 11:1 compression ratio, forged internals, and aluminum intake manifold. Backing the L79 is the original matching-numbers 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the raw, mechanical driving experience that made these lightweight Novas some of the quickest street cars of the muscle car era.
According to the owner, every drivetrain component has been verified as matching numbers wherever inspected, making this an exceptionally authentic example. The car underwent a high-quality frame-off restoration approximately ten years ago and has traveled less than 1,000 miles since completion. The restoration remains beautifully preserved, featuring excellent Marina Red paint, outstanding body gaps, a detailed undercarriage, and a clean, factory-correct engine compartment.
Inside, the matching red bucket-seat interior remains true to its original appearance with the factory center console, factory AM radio, and auxiliary oil pressure and water temperature gauges. Correct Rally wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires complete the iconic muscle car stance.
One of the defining characteristics of an authentic L79 Nova is its simplicity. Chevrolet intentionally omitted power steering, power brakes, and factory air conditioning from L79-equipped Novas to reduce weight and maximize performance. This car retains that factory-correct configuration, offering the same pure driving experience enthusiasts enjoyed in 1966.
With its matching-numbers drivetrain, documented originality, original Protect-O-Plate, Owner Protection Plan booklet, documented selling dealer, and high-quality frame-off restoration, this 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova SS L79 represents an exceptional opportunity to own one of Chevrolet's most collectible and sought-after muscle cars. Authentic, well-documented L79 Novas continue to be among the most desirable small-block performance cars of the 1960s, and opportunities to purchase examples of this caliber become rarer every year.
