When I was a kid my parents had a '69 Stingray.  Beautiful.  Sold it to my uncle and my dumb a** cousin totalled it.   :rivers: My uncle still has it though and one day I shall figure out a way to make it mine and will fix it up all perty-like.  It was never mine but it has always been my dream car so that counts as one that got away right?  :)

Oh, and my first vehicle.  My '86 K-5 Blazer.....miss that one too.

Never did dig through the closet looking for old pics -- not sure I'd be able to scan & post 'em anyway. But there are a few I wouldn't mind having back...

1968 Camaro RS, 327, 4-speed, bought new late 1967.
Traded it summer 1968 for a 1965 Corvette roadster, 327/365, CR Muncie.
New 1969 El Camino, 396/375, TH400.
New 1971 Camaro RS, 350, TH350.
New 1972 Triumph GT6.
1966 Corvette coupe, 327/350, CR Muncie, factory A/C.
My goal in life is to be as a good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

You're forgetting the chevelle too  ;)  But you may have blocked out that one since you sold it to that genius who totalled it  :ack:
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

Oh crap, yeah that beautiful dark metallic green '65 with the strong 327 & 4-speed...  :eyebrow:


Don't drive drunk, kiddies -- sometimes ya end up on your head, with a dead car.   :thumbdown:
