Wow! That makes 2 of the 6 accounted for. There is a beautifully restored Emerald Turquoise Nova SS with a black vinyl roof cover & interior, plus this one.
Built very late in production (not early as was speculated in the past) the 1967 L-79 Chevy II was a quirky one, using a cast iron intake & Quadrajet like the upcoming 1968 models. The open element air cleaner was used in '67 because with the new dual reservoir master cylinder combined with the optional vacuum reservoir would not clear the previous year's opposed dual snorkel air cleaner.
Awesome power to weight ratio. The largest factory tires were 6.95-14 (no red stripes offered), which is equivalent to a P175/75-14 tire today (in size, not performance).

I saw the Turquoise one your talking about in some Car Magazine and was restored by the same guys that restored Beaumont Bills L 79 Acadian, also in the same article was Beaumont Bill's 66 L79 Acadian and a 66 L79 Nova two door post owened by someone in Ney York. Wonder if Bill would be interested in this to add to his colection.
Two of six Wow !! how about a 1 of 1 67 Acadian L79 SD what would it be worth $$$$$

These boys can brag all they want, about these rare "little"cars, but none of them have a Strato Chief post car not even the Dentist..............lol lol
There were only 6 L79 Novas produced in 1967 and they were rated at 325 hp. The aluminum intake & 585 Holly carb and dual snorkel air cleaner on the 66 Novas were replaced by a steel intake, Rochester quadajet carb and open air cleaner which dropped the HP rating from 350 to 325.
