EXTERIOR
Finished in its factory-correct and beautifully understated Chateau Slate Iridescent, this 1966 Chevy II Nova SS presents exactly as a high-level L79 car should crisp, honest, and restrained. The body is exceptionally straight, with excellent panel fit, uniform gaps, and factory-correct character lines from front to rear.

The Super Sportspecific trim, emblems, and stainless are properly placed and beautifully finished without appearing over-restored. Correct redline tires on factory-style wheels complete the stance perfectly, giving the car the unmistakable presence of a serious performance Nova without excess or exaggeration.

This is a car that rewards close inspection. From the wheel openings to the door handles, locks, and fuel filler area, the details reflect extremely limited use and careful preservation since restoration.

ENGINE
Under the hood resides the heart of this Nova the legendary L79 327 cubic inch V8, factory rated at 350 horsepower. This engine remains exceptionally well-documented and correctly restored, featuring verified original components including:

* Correct 362 casting block
* 461 cylinder heads
* 490 aluminum intake manifold
* Correct Holley 3245 carburetor
* 288 and 729 exhaust manifolds
* 1111154 distributor
* Correct pulleys and accessory drives
* Correct 173 - 12-fin harmonic balancer
* Proper alternator (1100693-37A)
* Correct bellhousing, Muncie transmission, original shifter, and 12-bolt rear end with 3.70 gearing

Attention to detail extends to original-style NAT intake bolts, correct finishes, dated components, and factory-style engine overspray consistent with how these cars left the assembly line.

The engine bay is not only visually correct it reflects a restoration performed by someone who understood how these cars were originally built.

INTERIOR
The black interior is clean, correct, and exceptionally well-presented. The factory console remains in place, and the period-correct Stewart-Warner under-dash gauges, added early in the car's life, reflect the kind of thoughtful owner personalization commonly seen on high-performance cars of the era.

Fit, finish, and materials throughout the interior are consistent with the car's low-mileage presentation and concours restoration standards. Nothing appears overdone, replaced unnecessarily, or out of character for a properly preserved L79 Super Sport.

THE END GAME
This 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova Super Sport L79 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a serious, correctly restored, and thoroughly documented example of one of Chevrolet's most respected small-block performance cars.

With extensive documentation including the original title application, NCRS Shipping Data Report, a notarized affidavit from the original owner, restoration photos, and a well-established ownership history, this Nova stands apart from typical offerings.

It is not a driver-grade car, nor is it an over-restored showpiece. Instead, it occupies the sweet spot collectors seek authentic, correctly detailed, and preserved with care.
