WOW,

Amazing!

I was 9 years old in 68. I remember a friend down the street who's brother had a 69. We used to ride in it to the drive in movies on occasion (in retrospect his mom most likely made him take us).

I dont think we have had the opportunity to shake hands, thanks Don for your service. From a guy who was just a snot nosed kid at the time I sure appreciate your sacrifice for me and the rest of us.

Thanks to all for your great comments. And Dan thanks for posting.
Darren, I didn't hear about Yenko's for another 12 years.
Richie, I'm still young and Mark you "got it".
That car was traded in on a 70 Impala 350, Auto, with A/C within a year. With a wife and two kids it just wouldn't work.
Next venture into toys was 1983, 70 SS 396 Chevelle. And the rest is history.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Don
