Oh certainly post some pictures. That is always good and I don't care if I have a connection or not, older photos will always have my attention. The other problem I have to bring up is that at the age I am, I am surprised at how much from my past have vanished from my memory and maybe a photo will bring some of that back.

Here you go!

'Real '74 Z28 Type LT 4-speed, he bought it already stuck on top of a Blazer frame. Car was midnight blue and he drove it up at K-State for a couple years.


'69 Coronet R/T 440. I don't recall if this was a 6-pack car or not, I'll have to ask him. Eventually sold this car to get the sublime AAR if I remember right. However he's still got the original Direct Connection license plate hanging on the garage wall!

Lovely Coronet! Wow. Only A12 Super Bees and Roadrunners received the 6bbl/Six-Pack option in 1969. If your Dad's Coronet had a six-pack set-up it was added by an owner.

While I can't say that I remember seeing that 74 Z/28 4x4, it's extremely distinctive that I almost had to have seen it. Manhattan KS certainly isn't that large of a town today and was much smaller back then so I can't see how I could have even avoided seeing that back then. I don't know, maybe I spent too much time in Aggieville. There was a fad by some to create strange 4x4 vehicles but I would wish that Camaro could have stayed more true to its roots. But too each, his own.
