The one that got away. My 1968 Z/28. Bought this for the princely sum of $1150 back in 1971. Flash forward to 1974, gas has shot from 23cents to 36cents, I convinced myself I needed something more economical to drive when I was in college. So I traded in for ..................wait for it...............a 73 Vega GT. They gave me $650 for my Z/28 in trade. What a bone head decision.

Since my '72 C20 build is on the back burner for now, I thought I would go through all the old pics we have. Seeing as my wife and I have become the default "Keepers Of The Old Pics" in our collective families, I think we'd like to share the automotive related ones in this cool thread......
This is Mom and me in March of '63 with our new to us '59 Bel Air......

50k miles and threw a rod. But I'm sure that's no surprise to anyone.

I put together a photo album for our hunting camp in Northern PA and thought these couple were appropriate for this thread. Original camp was built in 1950, burned in 1990 (arson) and rebuilt.

My grandpa in '67 I believe standing next to his '67 Stepside. Cool I basically own the same truck.

My mother standing by a 69 Dodge Super Bee. My father loved that car. I remember telling him to *dig a hole Daddy*. My way of telling him to do a burn-out!

Turbo1dr · 10-23-2014, 12:30 PM
