My LS5 at Speedway 605 in Irwindale, California on May 15, 1976. The speedway would be closed and bulldozed a year later.
The original owner at the wheel of the LS5, John Lightfoot, bought the car on June 11, 1970 from Leo Hoffman Chevrolet in the city of Industry. John knew what he wanted and Leo Hoffman didn't have it so they called around and found this one at Harry Mann Chevrolet and a dealer swap was arranged. John would keep his beloved Chevelle until his death in 1998. I purchased the car from the estate on January 11, 1999. |
Cool photos.. :burnout:

Your dad's Vette looks killer with those wide slots

Yeah. He finally went back with the rally wheels, and Mom was tired of getting burned on the sidepipes, so here it is back in order except for the custom van murals. :) This is about 1980 as we finished the father/son 59 restoration in 78 and I'm wearing a Lazar nitrous tee shirt from that era. https://i.imgur.com/ICJilVp.jpg |

Here’s my Camaro back in ‘94 when I bought it. It had been in an accident in 1982 and just sat in a barn after that.
Second photo is after I restored it in 2,000, and third photo is at our wedding... literally a few days after the car was back on the road. Fourth photo is just having good ol’ fun! |
I should add that the Camaro is a factory Garnet Red on Red SS/RS 396 (L78) M22 with Tach & Gages, 3.73 rear, chambered exhaust and no spoiler ;-)

|

Vintage pics of muscle cars-post yours up here!!
My neighbor comes by a couple of years ago and says he has a 1967 Charger he bought Brand new in the fall of 1966, it's been sitting in his Father's Garage since 1979, and has not been touched since then.
He explains his father had passed away 6 months prior and he needs to get rid of the car because they are selling the house. So my mind is wandering is it a Hemi? A 440? or maybe a 383? I have it towed to my shop and when it shows up, it's a 318 2BBLwith Factory A/C and Cruise Control! No disrespect intended, but who buys a 1967 Dodge Charger and gets a 318 2BBL with A/C & Cruise control? I didn't even know that Dodge offered Factory Cruise control on a 1967 Charger. He said the other engine options got way too bad of gas mileage (gas was .39 cents a gallon then). It was so stinky and rusty, I listed it on Craigslist and a broker from POLAND bought it in the first 15 minutes of the add going live for $6500.00. I'm told it's overseas getting restored. You would be upside down in no time doing a frame off on this car. It takes all kinds I guess. Bill |

Post #244 on page 25 shows 2 of my 3 69 Camaros. I still have those 2. Here are 2 of the 3 67 Chevelles I had. The blue one is what started it all, you could say. I was 16 in the winter of 77. In the background is the 69 Cutlass 6 cylinder dad bought for me to drive. NO V8, he said. That summer I got a job working in a Firestone tire store. That is where I, to use dad's words, ruined that Cutlass. I bought air shocks, painted the rear end yellow, put a bald set of 60 series and rims that a customer took off their hippie van and didn't want. I cut off the new Midas exhaust because the car was not loud. Too many neutral dumps broke the Super Turbine 300 trans. Some guys down at the corner garage got in a 66 GTO that had been T-boned hard. I was making a deal to buy the 389 tri power and TH400 to put in the Cutlass. Dad found out my plans. He promptly had the trans repaired and sold the car. Not to be discouraged, I said to myself, I'll just buy my own car. At the end of summer, here is what I drug home without consulting my folks. The Robin Egg Blue Cutlass is in the background. I dearly loved that SS 396 4 speed Chevelle. Dad sent me off to military school as payment for my purchase. After graduating Military school, the flamed SS396 Camaro was bought, then, another Chevelle, maroon in color.
Oh, one last thing. My "Hippie Belt" was a real deal left by some hippies in one of dad's rental properties. And the big parking area, we had a 72 acre farm. I was a real backward sheltered country boy. |

rest of pics. 1st pic is the day I brought the Camaro home. Early fall 79. Yes, I have owned this car 40 years. I also bought a Blue SS 350 Camaro just prior to this and sold it this past summer. I came to the realization, I would never restore another car. Period. So, time to let go of some dreams. Bought the Maroon Chevelle in 81. Nicest Chevelle I had. Sold it in the spring to a buddy in 82 ‘cause I was getting married. And I did, now, 37th year. My buddy still has the Chevelle.
