My uncle had to do that when he had his first kid. It was a black and gold 79 with glass packs. I remember holding my ears when he started it up. He's the one responsible for my obsession with T/A's.

Nice!

My dad had an 69 Chevelle and he sold it when he was younger too. He wishes he would have kept it! My step-dad had a 63 Corvette that he ended up selling for a VW bug! Corvette got him into too much trouble.

yeah everyone back then had cars like that thou, everyone thought theyd all be like around forever my uncles sold a couple chevelles and novas for like 50$ like 30 years ago my dad had a 69 GTO as a WINTER car.

but back then they were a dime a dozen i guess.

True! My insurance agent keeps trying to talk me out of selling my Camaro because he said I am going to regret in down the road. He tried to buy back the 67 Camaro he sold when he was younger and couldn't get it back. Of course now he bought a 68 Camaro RS/SS fully restored!

Nice car, for the rarity.


The first gen camaro's and firebirds 97-69 were sex on wheels. Both the camaro and the firebird went COMPLETELY downhill in styling come the seventies. No denying the performance is still there, but I personally think they are both (camaro and firebird) ugly ass body styles in the seventies.


The performance stands, but man did both chevy and pontiac downgrade in the seventies in styling.

I havent seen many at all in that color however.

Shame he did part with it, for looks or not that car would be worth a pretty penny today.

I'd rather have your body style borsty.

This is why I'm going to hold onto my GTO.. I don't want to be one of those guys (my dad is included in this group) that looks back and kicks himself for selling his hot rod.

Who cares if in 30 years or so I can't drive it because there's no gas left

yeah ive got 2 stories that will make any muscle car nut cry like a baby


my best friend in high school , was showing me pics of the 63 super stock polara his dad had , and show me time slips from loins drag strip with times os 11.1's and 11.0's on stock tires , and 10.90's and 10.80's on street tires

so i asked his dad about the car , his dad ordered a 63 vette 327 fulie the top hp 1 4spd , the vette came in the dealer , he went down to pick it up , dealer told him no dice cause they couldnt get the loan insured , so he told his friend about the car , his friend was able to buy it , and loved it

so he went back to searching for a car , ended up at the dodge/plymouth dealer , and bought the polara for less money than the vette , and everytime him and his friend raced the vette got murdered , lol

his dad ended up going to vietnam , and his dad ended up having to sell the polara , and said some little ole lady came to pick it up , she'd start it , hit the button to put it in gear and it shut off every time , cause she couldn't keep it running as it went in gear , lol

other story , the guy that did all the machine work for my dad , the guys wife had a hemi cuda convert , and she sold it thinking it wouldnt make a good family car , lol
