That's is awesome, I have to admit that is one 2nd gen I drool over! Very Cool Story!

[strtlegal]

For me its kind of sad, its taken all these years to appreciate vehicles like that..

Very cool story!

I stared at that mag until my eyes hurt.

Mr V sent you a pm.

Thats the feature story i have been referring few times when someone has started "who started pro-touring" topic . I still recall reading that issue when it was only few years old. It was part of my older friends shop library. I am sure i still might have it somewhere.

Pretty serious ride over 30 years ago :wow:

I bought my '70 Z/28 in 1981...:yes:

[protour73]

I STILL have that Feb '81 issue of Hot Rod in a storage box!! That's one of the cars that inspired me back in the day. :unibrow:

[Sandbagger]

I remember that issue , isnt there a good Monza artile in there too?
I found that mag again at a swap meet in the 90s and bought it again .
Wasnt too excited about the orange 1st gen ,but the 2nd gen:hail:

That would be cool if that car was found again.
