Of course, all those cars had rust or rust repairs in the quarters and fenders by then (unkind Chicago climate), but they were drivable. Still never achieved 69 Camaro ownership 27 years later!

Who remembers the eager anticipation of going to 7-11 early on Thursday morning to get the new issue of Auto Trader??
Did you ever buy anything from Steve @ Torrance Auto Wreckers? Back in the day he used to come across interesting cars. I saw a '68 Chevelle SS vert (black, black roof, red interior) needed resto I turned Roland S onto it and I'm sure he still has it.
