Default Re: World Record sale for a 1966 L-79 Nova Super Sport

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: iluv69s</div><div class="ubbcode-body">In South America many people call <span style="font-weight: bold">all</span> the novas Chevy II's, no matter what year, because of the meaning of the word...No va !!(means No go) I am surprised Chevy never picked that up when they named the car.</div></div>

Chevy did know that and that is why the X-bodies exported down there were called Chevrolet 400 and/or Chevy. That removes any possible issue between the one word &quot;Nova&quot; (meaning birth of a star) and the two word term &quot;no va&quot; (meaning no go).
