Mine along with my older brother and sister had 1st gen Camaros.. Ever since I was old enough to walk my father had me in the garage or out at the junk yards with him.. I was 13 and when we went to pick up my car from the 2nd owner I couldnt sleep the night before.. I had saved money for years ($400) and luckily my dad was able to help financially with the body work and paint.. It was a powerhouse 307 backed by the trusty pg and 2.73 10 bolt.. My senior year I had saved enough money working at Advance Auto Parts so my father finally agreed to let me build a little 350 back it with a M20 and swapped the rear to a 12 bolt with 3.55 gears. Both my siblings sold theirs not long after high school and I kept mine up until last year when I traded it and a 97 SS 30th Anniversary Camaro vert to my brother for our fathers green L78 SS Camaro (same car in the preservation thread)..
<span style="font-weight: bold">The day we went to look at it..</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold">Yes I thought I was king s&@t once we got it home</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold">What the car looked like back in 2006</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold">And the first car I bought after college.. Now that was a fun ride.. Wish I still had it.. 98 SS</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold">I spent just about every Tuesday & Saturday night at Beech Bend for test & tune..</span>
So if you couldnt tell I would tell you that is probably one of the best things a father can do with his son.. Cherish it because I can guarantee you he will later on in life..
