Different times entirely, especially when it comes to college football. I do not remember seeing that car but in those much younger days, I was really only concerned with and paying attention to Chevy's and especially Camaro's. I do remember a big Block 69 around campus and a 69 Z/28 that had an Endura bumper on it that I wanted badly.

Small world! I graduated in mechanical engineering back in 2016 and football sure is an entirely different game now.

As for back then, my father drove the AAR for a year or so, then drove a dark blue lifted 4x4 '74 Camaro Z28 for a couple years haha. He sold that and bought a '71 SS 454 Chevelle and drove until he graduated. Somewhere along the line he also had a red '69 Coronet R/T 440. I have pictures of that Camaro and the Coronet if you're interested, I'm sure the Camaro was hard to miss!

Yes sir, I believe he even still has the build sheet for that car. It was a red car with black stripes and black interior. He bought it in KC and sold it in South Carolina a few years later.
