Dave, the 70 Z is way cool with the 10 wide slots. Is it a black car or dark green?

Poor scan of a Polaroid darkened the colors. The car is slightly different at the moment

My first car in early '60's. I think I was about 12 years old when the guys in Shop Class were undertaking projects to build a Hydroplane (I lived in Florida on the Gulf Coast) and my parents said "no way". So, I twisted their arms and said I won't even think about building one of those if you buy me a car, so that's what happened. They knew I was a car guy from a toddler....always had a car in my hands, then model car building (won awards in the Revell/Pactra Model Car Contests...remember those?). I could drive with my "Learners Permit" at 14 in Florida, so I was all set. I worked on my '55 for several years, including installing a new 327 crate engine (pulled the 6 cyl...great engine, but I had to have the V8)! When I turned 16 it was ready the first trip to High School! This is a pic my Dad took of me on my way to High School for the first time in my '55. Good times!!!

1970 Z28, circa 1979 photo. Got it in '78 while in high school. Doing my best Grumpy Jenkins impersonation.

Just out of frame to the left is my friends 69 Z. We had a great time back then. Seems like everybody in the neighborhood had some kind of musclecar.

My 68 SS when I was 16.

I really love these threads. Really cool to see all these old rides and pretty cool how many are still around.

Here's my 1967 Chevelle Circa 1985 and then summer 2021. She's like my best friend.
