A reunion. Car story to share.

Back in July of 1969 a guy walks into a small town Chevrolet dealer to buy a car right of the showroom floor. The self-proclaimed, ìFord man,î says he fell in love with the car and had to have it. This would be the only Chevy he would own in his life. His wife did most of the driving. A fan of manual shift she uses it to go to school and for an occasional street race. The gentleman also does some street racing with the car. He had a friend at work who had a brand new 69 Camaro SS 396 with 375 horsepower. They agree test out their cars. Here is the quote from the race. ìI could wind the car to 8 grand in 1st and 2nd gear. By the time I got to 3rd I did need to rev it high anymore. I could beat the 375 horse car to 120mph.î Keeping the car for just over a year, he had to sell it to fund his wifeís education. 30 some years and several owners later the car ends up in my hands. Yep, this is some of the info I got today from the first owner of my Z/28. I have finally contacted him after 10 years. I took a Sunday drive to a small town southwest of DeKalb, Illinois to reunite the car with the first owner. He was thrilled to see the car in its current state I could see it was bringing back a lot of memories. I took him for a ride and he seemed to enjoy it. He said, ìOh yeah, that 4:10 really gets you up there quick.î Here is a picture of a guy and his old friend. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]
