"Barn Find" The Last 69 Yenko Camaro......

[njsteve]

Hey Michael, nice to see you popping up on the site.

Yeah we had a crazy neighborhood back in the day. I still remember driving my 69 Pace Car around the circle (we lived on a large dead end circular road), and stopping in your driveway to say Hi to you and your brothers back when I was around 14 years old. (The statute of limitations on underage driving has thankfully passed).

That was back when my brother Jeff had his 69 Daytona Yellow SS396 Camaro, too. I'd also sneak that car out and drive it around when he wasn't looking.

Ah, the good old days...I remember getting into a heated argument in your driveway with your brother over which was faster: my Camaro or a new 1977 Trans Am.

Man, I was such a punk back in the 1970s! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

P.S. if you want a supercar with A/C you should find a nice 1973 SD455. There's a neat one on ebay right now with 10K miles, and it is in Florida, too!

Steve,

Yup, Ox Bow lane was a lot of fun and a safe place for sure. My brother Henry just sold the old homestead on Ox Bow about 2 months ago. :-(

An SD Trans Am is on my short list for sure. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't A/C only come on cars with automatics? I haven't seen a 4 speed A/C car yet.


Let us not forget your blown Blazer or the Superbird.


FYI: I still keep in touch with Mark Lieberman, not enough but we talk every once in awhile.

Yup, A/C was only available on the automatics. I remember Mark and his 1974 Formula 455 Firebird. I remember how he rebuilt the engine in his basement and then we couldn't get it up the stairs to install it in the car! I don't recall how he ever got the engine up to ground level??? Tell him I said hi, next time you talk to him.
