I was lucky enough to have had a 71 Monte 454(ex totaled it),a GSX(sold it to pay for college) a 71 SS Chevelle (stolen on the 3rd day I had it right out of my driveway),and I actually had a 69Z and in a heart beat would take the Camaro again. That car was awesome it was the first and only black car I ever owned. Miss her

I had to go with the 65 GTO. It was the first car I bought when I got out of the service. It had a 68 motor in it and it kept throwing the timing chain, so I replaced it with a steel chain and replaced the fiber crank gear with a steel gear. A month later that one went. I didn't beat on the car, but I did drive it like what it was. Sold it in 73 for 150 bucks.
