2015 MCACN; Announcing Special L79 Display!

[bashton]

So, as we all know, there are some pretty stout <span style="font-style: italic">small-block </span>Muscle Machines out there. In the interest of keeping things diversified for the MCACN show, I am pleased to announce we will be featuring a special gathering of <span style="font-style: italic">L79 cars</span> this year.

Hosted by Kenny Pascoe, this display will feature only the real thing; documented examples of the high-output L79 cars, which includes Nova's, Corvettes and Chevelles. If you own or know of any of these prime examples of small block screamers, please consider joining us.

You can contact Kenny at [email protected] or 845-453-0442 or me [email protected] or 586-549-5291. Thanks go out to Kenny for stepping up to help us make sure this one is a winner!

Just keeps getting better and better! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

That sounds awesome..I cannot wait to see the lineup of cool cars ....if Kenny is involved I am sure he will hit a grand slam !!!! He is the &quot;Detail Dude&quot; Can't wait till MCACN 2015. Congrats

Looking forward to it Kenny.

This should be a great display. It would be cool if all four years of Corvette L79's were there. They were available in 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1968 327 versions. The 1968 version is certainly overlooked. Thank you for putting this display together, Ken.

Working on referring an L79 4 speed wagon and El Camino to the show.

----Kenny,,,There was an L-79 65 convertible in Treworgies museum in Punta Gorda FL. Saw it two days ago. Didn't check on the important stuff but it looked good under the hood......Bill S

Somebody should buy this 2-door wagon and bring it to the L79 display.

[Xplantdad]

Was that the one that was owned by Mickey Thompson supposedly?

[tom406]

Oooohh, that wagon is cool IF its real. I hope it has more documentation. I wonder what the market will judge that to be worth as it sits. It strikes me as a $40-45K-ish car when done, and even though I'm a wagon geek, I wouldn't want to be in that car $75K at the end of the day. JMO....

[SS427]

What a cool ride!

Here are three pictures of a very weird L79 I've seen at local cruise nights this summer. It's a 4 door. I met the owner last week. He tells me he ordered the car while in the service, in California. He wanted the 4 door because it was his DD and frequently had passengers to haul around. (fellow servicemen?) Notice no Posi., but he added one later. Sorry I did not take any pictures of the body. I'll get some next time I see it. I mentioned MCACN special display this year to him, but he did not demonstrate much interest. I think Mike G. also talked to him about the show and the display.

Also see the album cover laying on the core support. He blacked out his grill with &quot;bow tie&quot; shapes.

[KENNY PASCOE]

I have reached out to him a few times and no response . Thanks for the heads up .. KP

[Tracker1]

Oh, that is off the hook - I'd love to see that at MCACN - wow.

[bashton]

OK Guys..peer pressure is a great thing, so let's see if we can get this guy to join us with the 4-door! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif

Here is a zoom in on his trim tag. I don't know if there is anything to de-code here.

[jasonL78]

Hope you get your 68 L79 Nova. Only a hand full of them around. My old 68 L79 was sold at Barrett Jackson Palm Beach April 2014. The guy I sold it to flipped it there. Maybe he knows where the car ended up after the sale? That would be a cool car for your display.

Jason

[bashton]

GREAT NEWS!

The owner of the L79 4-speed, 4-door Chevy II has agreed to join us! And to make things even better, he is indeed the <span style="font-style: italic">original owner,</span> and he has an incredible story to tell.

Only at MCACN!
