Re: First muscle car,year bought
My first musclecar experience was Dad's 1966 SS396/360hp Chevelle with a 4spd and bench seat; it was new and so was I. He bought the car in Jan 66 and I came along in October. Then he traded it for a new 68 SS396 Camaro, that car was my favorite as he kept it until 1973 and traded for a 70 SS454 Monte Carlo. But the first one I owned was a 1969 SS350 Camaro in Fathom Green that my Dad sold new to a friend of his in Oct 1970. That guy traded it in on a new 1984 HO Z-28 in Nov 1983 at the same dealership of which my Dad was now the manager. I traded in a 1972 Malibu 4 door that was mint and I gave $100.00 boot towards the price of the Camaro ($1900.00). The next day I ordered a set of Cragar S/S wheels and done away with the mag wheel covers and drove that car until I traded it on a 1967 L79 Chevy II.....Those were the days.......RatPack.....
