Default Jody Schmeisser`s Newest L79 Nova Chevy II

Last weekend Jody traveled to pick up his newest classic and what a classic car it is. And today I get the privledge of showing it to the rest of the world. I have been very fortunate in my life to have met some very special people...such as Jody, that play a significant role in my life. Jody is a true friend, a role model and a great ambassador to our sport. Jody congrats on finding such a rare and special car.

A true original 87K mile, one repaint, all numbers matching...documented L79. Stunning!









The 2 only options on this car are "Tinted Front Windshield" and "Push Button Radio"













Jody firing up the fearless small block!







Jody throws me the keys and away we go....What a great driving car....nice and tight no rattles. Noting like an all original unmolested car.

I sure gave the Nova a new meaning to "Tight Sqeeze"....though surprisingly roomy



"On the Road Again"...driving the Chevy II..."On the Road Again"



All I can say is "Priceless" Jody and I could have filmed a commercial with these....laughter and excitement through every gear. Now this is what it`s all about! These Memmories...are Priceless! This is one mightly small block!





Jody....Thanks!




Dan.

Another priceless moment I wanted to share with everyone and show Jody`s generousity. Jody had this picture made as a gift to give his special friend Greg for helping him put together the Blue L72 Caprice.

This is awesome....here is Jody and Greg in Circa.... June of 1965....putting together this 1966 L72 Big Car at Detroit`s assembly line.

Cool Car!

From the looks of the lubricant storage somebody suffers from OCD.

Cool story Dan and great photos. Sounds like you were a kid in a candy store (with no adult supervision).
