|  66 L79 Chevy II first real drive in 35 years 
			
			Woke up early this morning and decided I wanted to take our Chevy II for a short drive.  This was probably the longest drive it been on in close to 35 years.   I've driven it around the block a few time but that's been about it. I didn't want to go too far as the tires are just about as old as the car. I have to say it runs really good, and as the tires warmed up amazingly things smoothed out.  Needless to say I had a good time this morning and plan on driving it to a local show next weekend.  Anyways I thought I'd share a few videos and couple of pictures.  Aztec Bronze really pops in the sun!

			Great to see it out for a run. Even if it gets a few hundred more miles on the odo, it's going to be every bit as cool!

			----Wish there was some way to trade you out of your Nova, as I loved the car when I saw it at MCACN. I have boats and cars and cash to throw at you if there's even a hint of interest!....Bill S
