My Dad always had a 68 Chevelle and sold it before I was born, but he talked about it all the time. So when I was old enough we bought a 1967 Chevelle. I've got that car tattooed on my forearm. It also the car that I learned how to drive manual on, which makes for an awesome story. It's not perfect, I don't have the original engine, but it runs and drives with the 350 that's in it for now. I've always thought about how cool it would be to LSA swap it! When I'm older and have the money the car will get a lot of love, for now it's our classic in the family and has always been garaged.
As for the ZL1, these cars have just aged very well over the last 8-10 years I feel. They have a lot of good things going for it, being the Mag Ride, heads up display, good speakers and plenty of power. The tremec is a Gem and with supercharger whine and the top down I'm always smiling. It's got more miles on it than the last one I had but hey it's a driver. 51K on the clock now, but I got it for 37k and its in great shape. In todays market I feel I did well. I hope to hold onto it for a long time but my friends all know I have a terrible track record with cars. I've always got something different. But I do think its quite something to have about 600hp, a 6 speed and a convertible top. That's a unique combo in todays world of bland crossovers and hybrids.
Heres another shot of the garage that I redid ever since we moved in. I'm "that" neighbor that's into cars! We have manners though!
