Default First ride in a Lemans Blue ' 69 Z/28

Mark Milchak(396L35)was kind enough to let me sandblast my rare Lakewood 2-piece scattershield tonight in his garage. A big thanks goes out for that. After I'm finished, we're standing next to his Leman Blue '69 Z28 and he asks if I've ever rode in one. I say no because I'm used to some pretty fast stuff and 290HP just doesn't sound exciting to me. He grabs his car keys and insists I get in. We go out to the service road and he blasts through all four gears like there's no tomorrow. Anyway, I got to say I was impressed by that little 302. They say an engine is basically an air air pump and I guess what these 302's lack in displacement they make up for it sheer RPM. Thanks Mark and next time: my turn, my car, my expired plates, and my service road!

Mark he just tells people that's his car. Why do you think he was driving it like that.

BTW. Rallye Green Z's are faster.

Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Possession is 9/10ths of the law. Bring that green machine down to St. Louis and we will find out... Mark

I remember my first ride in a 69 Z. Friend of mine here in Maryville, he is a 55 Chevy man, but has a black 69 Camaro convertable 350 and an orange and white Camaro Z/28 with the 302. I was very impressed with the power and pull of that little engine.
