What was your first car?
What was your first car? I am sure this has been done before but since I am kind of new here maybe everyone wouldn't mind telling a few stories once again!
My first car was a 1969 Camaro Z28. I bought the car in 1970 from Roger Penske's Uncle's son (his cousin) who painted the car Sunoco Blue with pink pin stripes. I kept the engine stock but put headers on it. Body mods include American Torque Thrust wheels with some Goodyear Blue Lines. It had a 4-spd, cowl hood, and a gauge package (may have been aftermarket)? The car screamed! I have tons of pictures and old time slips but I do not know how to get them on the YENKO website. I had the car for 20 years, then sold it to a neighbor. He then sold it to his uncle who gave it to his son and he raced it for a year or so. Since then we have chatted little about the car. This past 9/11/01, he was killed in the terror attacks. I do know where the car is though. It has been sitting since 1991 inside my neighbor's uncle's garage. The family stopped driving it after their son was hit by a drunk driver with some friends. (He was in his friends car.) Unfortunately, bad things happen to good people and their son is now wheelchair bound. I have been thinking about giving the family a call. I may have to expand my garage to fit one more in there. Time have changed and now I have a 1966 Corvette and a 1972 Chevelle. Thanks for reading.
