68 RS/SS396 Little Old Lady...

[danachevroletfor1967]

There was a little ol' lady that lived in the town next to mine that had as her daily driver a '69 SS with a 350. It was all original as far as I know. Guys used to ask her all the time if she would sell it. The last I knew she had to go into an assisted living facility a few years ago, and I haven't seen the car since. I hope it went to a good home.

That's very cool but can you even imagine how many times she gets followed home by people that think they've "discovered" the proverbial lil' old lady 396 Camaro?!

I live in Seattle and saw her driving up in Lynnwood several months ago and snapped some photos as well as I was alongside her. I actually wrote down her license plate number and thought I might try to track her down, but then I figured that has probably been tried by a thousand other people.

Very cool and thanks for getting all the great shots.

Yeah, I asked her if she's sick of guys wanting to buy it from her. I did see the "375" on the chinsy repop air cleaner lid and just for a nano-second thought "No way, L78." Car is very cool but kinda' rough in places. As for the gas, she did say the engine "knocks" going up hills on the Chevron Supreme.

The mechanics love to put the alternators on the wrong side of the bracket.

its been 20yrs since I was under its hood visiting with her one day I am pretty sure its a 325hp car if the old memory works, it idles like a taxi cab. she had a few vynal roofs over the years and gave up dealing with them and had the black painted on.
