Mecum Auction COPOs everywhere

Took them to the drags and car shows for years. Even took them to the Ford nationals at Maplegrove a few times. Big Foot was there. Like I said, its not that they don't like cars and that stuff it is just they would not buy the cars from my era for that kind of money. They are more into trucks and SUV's. Don't worry Joe I take my little grandaughters all over with me and their parents do bring them to the car shows I enter. Just don't know how long that lasts though. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. Wait till you get some kids....easier said than done! Schonye is lucky! Hey it may skip a generation and the grand kids may get all my stuff! P.S. My dad was not into cars but I have oil for blood so don't always know how it will work but you are correct about exposure! Take em with you. Look at Caleb!!!

My Dad is not into cars at all, he just sort of shakes his head at me

I agree with Marlin and Joe 100% My son is 2 y.o.a. He goes to school every day (approx. 7 mile one way trip) in a '68 SS 396 Chevelle with open headers. He is mad when for some reason we have to use my wife's Trailblazer.

Open headers!! Ever give yourself a ticket?

The older brothers line up at my house when I was about 12-13;
68 400 firebird 4spd
66 421 tripower catalina ( given to my older brothers for free)
68 428 Mustang
70 428 Cougar

and my Dad telling me how he had to change an engine in a 40 Ford Convertible around 1954, did it in an hour using a couple of chains and the oak tree in our front yard. car ran great, loaded up 4 of his friends, drove to Nebraska from Long Island for the helluva it, oh yea, the covertible had no top, just the frame, nobody cared... That did it for me SULLY

As far as great value in terms of Camaro's, you cannot go wrong with the 98-02 LS1 cars. Huge performance per dollar, good looks and mileage. The 99 model shown below ran mid thirteen's stock, presently high 11's @ 116 mph with mild mods and still knocks down 20 mpg in combined city/highway driving, and the car is worth about $8-$9K in its present condition.



My other two Camaro's are pretty far back in terms of performance, handling, braking, and mileage. But what appeals to me are the way they make me feel. The rough idle, unburned exhaust fumes, styling, rarity, ease of working on, and so so ride and handling appeal to me because it brings me back to my youth. Driving these cars and the reaction I get brings me back to my 20's when they were commonplace and no one cared if they had the proper date coded block or transmission. All you wanted to do was go fast and look cool doing it. Now, there is a desire inside of me that wants to restore and preserve these cars so that future generations can experience the fun that these cars bring. And for that, people are willing to pay top dollar for these cars now.

Hey Sam, I know the less "traveled" paths to take! Besides I never write tickets for loud pipes. In Louisiana we have a "Loud Pipes Save Lives" program.
