I didnt think you actually could match numbers on a 66. They didnt match the blocks to the vin. Am I wrong?Read the add carefully, "not numbers matching".

Yes, in 1966 several thousand Sport Coupes (11637 VIN) received the L79 option. You don't see many around today, but they do show up from time to time. This Ebay car doesn't appear to be one of them.Has anyone ever seen a 116 vin nova with an L79 option? Check out this car on ebay.

One of the rarest L79 Sport Coupes is actually an Acadian. Bill Wertheim's fully restored Canso is the only L79 Acadian Sport Coupe known to exist.
Some of the 1966 blocks had the VIN stamped next to the suffix code. There was no requirement to do this, so most don't have it. You can matchup numbers if you have the original POP and a VIN stamped block. In Canada, GM's Vintage Dept. can provide both the VIN and the engine suffix code.I didnt think you actually could match numbers on a 66. They didnt match the blocks to the vin. Am I wrong?

According to Novaresource.org, there were 5481 Chevy II L79s built in the U.S. in 1966. 3547 of them were SS cars and there were 200 two door sedans. That would leave just over 1700 L79 Sport Coupes. We also know there were a few L79 wagons.
There were 195 Chevy II L79s built in Canada and 63 Acadians. The only breakdown by model is that L79 Nova SSs and Acadian SDs totalled 144 cars.
GM Canada lists show there were L79 Nova Sport Coupes built, but none have surfaced to date. Bill Wertheims Canso is the only known L79 Acadian Sport Coupe.
