Suspect

Information provided here is provided solely to aid a potential owner in determining the heritage of their L79. An example 'suspect' car would be an L79 with proper paperwork but the history of the car shows it was a 'barn find' and the engine was long gone when the car was found. However, suddenly the car appears on the market with a restamped engine and is being sold as a 'matching numbers' car. The term 'matching numbers' means different things to different people but here it's used to mean the engine build date stamping and the partial VIN stamping on the block are original and have not been altered. A 'barn find' L79 with a missing engine has a 1-in-xxx chance of finding its original block depending on the year. You be the judge.

This website is designed and maintained by Webs by Dale™ (WBD). This website was created as a showplace for L79-optioned Chevrolets/Acadian Beaumonts. WBD shall not be held liable for any loss resulting from the use of the information contained on this website. This website is the sole property of WBD. Design, layout and website photographic images were all created by WBD or submitted by readers and are not to be copied or distributed without express consent from WBD in writing. Use of WBD name, logo and identity is strictly prohibited by law.

All submitted photos become the property of WBD and may be used for any legitimate purpose on this and other websites in the Webs By Dale family or any print publications (books/calendars/CDs/et al.) associated with this author's efforts without payment expected or due to the contributor. Submitted photos by any registrant may be used by WBD for display on any other WBD website without compensation.

While every effort is made to ensure the Chevrolets/Acadian Beaumonts on this website are what they claim to be, WBD does not verify the cars beyond what documentation is provided. One must take their due diligence in seeking to purchase any Chevrolet and not rely on any website, including this one, to validate the bona fides of any owner's claim.

This registry and showcase website is not designed to help you locate a car you owned 20-30 years ago. To my knowledge there is no known database of a car's VIN and its past/current owner. Such a public database would be a gross invasion of privacy. The  L79-optioned Chevrolets listed here are done so by the current owner at time of registration and may have changed hands since registration. If you are seeking information on any vehicle registered here, this website will only contact the owner with your request and it will be up to them if they contact you or not.
