some years later

[intocarss]

I was 18 or 19 when we took the first pics @ the top of Vanalden I'm 52 now.

At that time I owned the silver 69 RS.. a year later I bought the brown 68 Z/28.. then 8-10 years later.. I bought the black 68 Z/28 which had green w/ white stripes by then. I had a strange feeling of deja vu, so I did a back ground check and it was the same car..

Both Z's had 302's and the 69 had a real 70 1/2 LT1. I put a tunnel ram with dual quads 4.56's and yes I blew it up





















The lady in the BMW was taking a pic of my lic plate cuz I passed her.. JUST LIKE O'L TIMES!!!!! It took her that long to get up the hill

Coz the green one is the black one years later (If you missed that) Hard to say which one Coz, each car has so many different memories. BUT, If I had to choose it would be the brown one. That was a fun fun car. It was repainted the same color brown and had Centerlines with T/A radials when I had it. The Mo eng was replaced with a DZ with the second stage solid cam, ported heads and OEM intake with a 750 carb, 4.56's, rock crusher trans, hounds tooth int. My G/F @ the time learned to drive in it.. I raced the hell outa that car then traded it for a built 77 Celica, then bought it back years later but it had a 350 by then..wasn't the same car. I sold it and think I got an 69 SS 350 El Camino

I have some later pics of the brown one, when I find them I'll post

Rick, I owned all 3 at different times in my life after the silver one. The black one was painted green when I got it sold it and got a gold and black stripe 69 Z/28 and sold that so i could buy a Pro street 67 Camaro. That 67 pro street was also black with blue stripes like the 68 Z in the old pics..Sold that and got a Pro Street vega..and it don't end there DAMN I AM NUTZ

It was over cast here today BTW we used to skate board down that street.And to and to the left (facing pics) we had a MX track on the empty lots just when they started building those homes. i'm getting all kinds of memories back here The top of that street ended a few yards up the hill which led to dirt mullholnd another riding place plus we all used to park up there and party!

Great memories! Thanks for sharing them. Like you - I've owned about a half a zillion cars -- they all have good memories.
