My parent's house, circa December 1977. The day we brought my brother's newly purchased LA-built SS396 4-speed, home from purchasing it from Vinny Racalbuto in Orange, Connecticut. (I'll always remember that distinctive name).
My 16 year old brother got this "consolation prize" after I got accidentally got my 1969 Z11 Pace Car at age 14. We were a large family of 5 kids and my Dad could never remember who was who and what our ages were. So when I said I'd like to someday buy a Camaro with my saved up money from 14 years of birthdays (I was a frugal kid), he let me buy my Z11 for $2,700. We got it home and the first thing my Mom does is walk out in the driveway and confronts him. "YOU KNOW IT'S HIS OLDER BROTHER WHO JUST TURNED 16 THAT NEEDS A CAR. THIS ONE IS 14" So my Dad immediately went out and found this S396 for my brother in the want ads in the New Haven Register and bought it for $3,500. I don't even think my brother chipped in any money either. Damn!

Yeah, they were just daily transportation then. Who knew how things would change?
