Lot #406 - L79 Nova, one of 1,274 built with factory installed 327/325hp motor known as the L79.

Tinted glass, 4-piston front disc brakes, front and rear bumper guards, exterior bright trim package, one-year-only exterior body side trim, one-year-only plastic rocker skirts and custom bench seat interior just to name a few. The car also retains all five original XB Rally wheels along with its original spare tire.
