Default Re: What car do you wish you had back?

Two,
One is still in the family. First car was a 69 Camaro X-11, 307, console 3 speed. Bought in 1982 for $650.00, 500.00 earned by me, and a 150.00 loan from an uncle (Dad refused as the car was "to fast" for a 15 year old). It was green/black. Had it repainted the next summer firethorn red, and added keystone classic rims. After that, a close friend wanted one so bad we spent the entire summer looking and found a X-44, brown/green 307 Camaro. We spent the next two summers on that car. The following year, he was killed when he stepped in front of a speeding car, after seeing his girl with another guy. I bought the car from his family, and eventually gave it to my youngest brother. He drove it through his high school years, and after selling mine while I was in college, I convinced him every time he wanted to sell his, not to. I am now 39 and he is 32, and he still has that car (currently Hugger/Black, w. Cowl Hood, and a 427). He is now VERY glad he never sold that car!

1968 RS Camaro L78 Fathom blue. I found it after close to a 20 year abscence about 10 years ago 10 miles from here. I offered to pay him at least twice what it was worth at the time (orig motor gone and replaced with a 327). I contact him every now and then, he still has it, doesn't run and locked away in storage. Here are some day 2 photos.

The pictures I am trying to post are scans that have been converted into a .pdf file using Adobe Acrobat. They load fine on my computer but I can't post them here. Since my computer skills are about as good as my mechanical skills I will need some help in accomplishing this. They are decent photos of a 68 L78 Camaro from probably 1968-69 possibly as late as 70
