rest of pics. 1st pic is the day I brought the Camaro home. Early fall 79. Yes, I have owned this car 40 years. I also bought a Blue SS 350 Camaro just prior to this and sold it this past summer. I came to the realization, I would never restore another car. Period. So, time to let go of some dreams. Bought the Maroon Chevelle in 81. Nicest Chevelle I had. Sold it in the spring to a buddy in 82 ‘cause I was getting married. And I did, now, 37th year. My buddy still has the Chevelle.

Wow -- that maroon 67 SS looks identical as the one we bought at Doc Stewart Chev in Clovis, NM. Had 350 HP 396 & 4 gear. Got orders for return to Vietnam and traded it for a 64 Chevy wagon -- took the wife and baby to Wisconsin to live with my parents. Damn sure wish I had that one back!! Craig

Note: if you are reading this, go back a page and read about my Chevelle and, like the late Paul Harvey, you will have the rest of the story. Below-Going to the track

That Chevelle looks identical to the one we bought new a Doc Stewart Chev in Clovis, NM ... Sad thing is we had it less then a year ... got orders to return to Vietnam and we sold it. I wasn't going to take it up to Wisconsin where my younger brother lived. So it was gone and we got a 64 Chevy station wagon -- loaded everything including wife and daughter. Dropped them at my parents and I was off to sunny Southeast Asia ...
