Vintage Pic

[DM69SS]

We moved recently and as we are unpacking, I've found a couple boxes of old pictures. This group seems to like to old school/vintage pics and stories, so I thought I'd share this one.

It's a picture of my dad's 69 SS 396/375 on the dealer lot. He ordered it while he was still overseas in Vietnam. He wanted to wait to pick it up until he got home, but the dealer called his parents and asked if they could pick it up early as it was becoming a distraction with a lot of people asking to buy it. My Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle drove to pick it up. My uncle told me my grandpa was going to drive the camaro back and my uncle would drive their car back with my grandma. Grandpa made it about 6 blocks, pulled over, and told my uncle to drive it. "Piece of junk doesn't idle, runs like crap, won't turn, and looks like a John Deere tractor!"

This is the only one I've found so far, but I know there are a handful of others. If there is interest I'll post em as they get discovered during unpacking.
