# of original L79 Novas and Z28's in stock and superstock?

[Eric Merryfield]

Wasn't sure how many original L-79 Novas are still in competition. I know there are quite a few 66 Novas, but what they were born as I can't say.


On the Z28 front I know for stock

The Wenzell's(sorry spelling likely incorrect) 67
Broadbents 69
Mcneish's Z(not sure what year it is)
Tim Barrets yellow 69

For superstock

Fletchers

Thanks

My SS/CA Camaro (ex Armstrong car) is a real Z-28 and have a title for it. and i believe Gary Richards stocker AA/SA car is a real Z,but not 100% sure, also Kevin Anderson red G car is a real Z and his 69 rag top J stock is a pace car, iam sure Tyson,s is going to sponsor it when it comes out, "It's been in the ex chicken coop that long" lol

One of the prettiest Superstockers around!

Add mine(new to me in August) the ex-Mccollum( 77-2017) E/SA 66 SS L-79 to the list, I titled it in Mass, just picked up the # matching motor from the second owner, who raced it in B-Modified. F0108ZI the real deal....

Lee likely saw him at Dover, Joe Keller....sold car in 74/5 to a speed shop who pulled the motor and built a stock legal motor for A/S.........they deemed the .060 over # matching motor junk for their purposes and gave it back to him for his Tbucket project......

He kept it safe, never installed it, didn't want to tear it apart and mill the 12-1 pistons, so there it sat, and moved 1200 miles or so south with him to Florida.....

Fast forward to 2020 and I get really really lucky and find him from a 1968 registration, get the racing story, pictures of this matching # motor, we strike a deal and I drove to florida last week, motor safely home. Met the old racer got a couple of photos, and even the M&H slicks and rims he used, and some other assorted original parts.

Not your average story, in this most challenging of years, a nice National Dragster worthy feel good story!
