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

I know very well what happened to one of the L-79 cars, I had a blue w/black interior super sport L-79 in the early seventies and for some reason or another I pulled the engine and trans and put a 327 glide in it to run in stock eliminator. My wife, Sandra, drove quite a bit in that era and made a run in the car that turned really bad, she turned it over and totaled it. She was ok but the car was junk and I gave the roller to Sherman Adcock, Sr and he used as much of the skin as he could on his round track car. The original motor also went to a round track racer. It still hurts when I think about it but these cars were fairly plentiful in that time frame and I had a red SS L-79 not long after then. I have some pictures somewhere of the car after the after accident condition.
