That scoop on the wagon looks like the same scoop that ended up on nemesis one .

The top pic was shot at Cedar Falls Raceway sometime in the mid '70's. I believe the drivetrain in this car was the RAIV remove from the totaled Judge. There was actually another yellow Safari wagon (no woodgrain) between Nemesis and Nemesis Two, I don't know why the switch.
Jerry's first race car was a '53 Olds Holliday coupe with a Pontiac engine. Then a '57 Bonneville convert, then '58 and '59 Corvettes, both with Pontiac power.
I worked for Jerry the second time after he moved down the street to become service manager at the Chevy dealer. By that time he was racing a B/S (I believe) 454 '72 Corvette. He finished his career at Mills Chevy in East Moline IL.
Always a tough competitor and class act, Jerry would arrive at the track well prepared and dialed in. Being new to semi-pro racing I learned a lot from Jerry. - Bill W
