I bought a new 68 SS when i go out of the army in 68. 4 speed, hurst shifter, 350, positive traction, heavy duty suspension and big tires. Corvette blue with vinyl top, coupe. Loved that car. First wife made me sell it.
My first car was 1967 Camaro SS/RS metallic gold black vinyl top. I sorta worked it a lot, had extra tires and black rims to quickly swap. It was only a 350/295 but bias tires melted and threw little gobs of rubber I had to clean. Dad asked how I got tar on only the back quarters??? He knew. No. reserve it will not need one.
Can’t imagine many of these made it this far! Most were drivin’ like they stole ‘em back in the day I’m sure! At 55 and I got some dings and dents to be expected, but for this ‘69 to make it this far this nice tells me she was well cherished. Gonna find a good home I’m sure
@@flouisbailey its a good idea but I got a 1990 chevrolet c1500 that I would like to repaint one day. Maybe a full restoration but we will see later on
@@ernestbamburg329 Yes, I guess it’s 1/2 a house or Motion Camaro. Did you catch it was a 3 barrel carb they said it twice. I’m going to watch it again.
Lost my RS/SS in 72, Drunk guy driving home at 6:30 am from an overnight Divorce party at a blind pig. Ran a light and broadsided me on the pass side. Totaled the car. Nice car...
I remember the Oil Embargo days of the 70’s. Everyone panicked when gas went from 50¢ to $1.00. Muscle cars galore were going for sale cheaply. They just wanted to get rid of them guzzlers. A lot of them went to young drivers who either abused them and ended up in junkyards.
Mine was new ‘67 SS/RS 350/295hp what 16 year olds need, not! I redlined that poor car in every gear but 4th. Got squat on next trade wish I had kept it but I was in love traded for more sensible. The first X wife.
