'69 Camaro Z-28 homecoming.......Forty years later ! ! !
 

Tonight its home -- some forty years ago -- almost to the day I sold my '69 Camaro Z-28 to a guy I knew from my hometown and have regretted it everyday since then .Would you believe that same guy sold it back to me this evening ? You bet he did and it now resides in my shop .I'm still not sure what I'll do with it but ......Anyway , first thing I did was check the VIN and cowl tags its the one allright .Most of it is a little rough and the original drive train has been replaced by a 468" monster but its still the cutie I remember as I haven't laid eyes on it for at least thirty years - maybe more as it spent most of its life in storage because the owner was in lock-up most of that time until a few years ago but thats another story .Not sure about my next move but .......

Well , I do know my next move - you'll remember - when Desi said to Lucy --" honey you've got some splainin' to do " -- that'll be me - splainin' why there is another '69 Camaro around . Stay tuned .........

Jack just tell her its the one under the cover she must of miss it. Lol. Good luck with your old toy the second time around.

What do you do?

go sit in it,
smell it,
touch it,
feel it,
smile from ear to ear,
go "vroom vroom" a couple, no make that 3-4 times and then chuckle, maybe even laugh out loud.
sit back and sigh,
remember what was,
think of what will be,
then smile some more.

glad you got it back.

Nice score Jack.

What a GREAT story ! and the old photo... as it should be.

As mentioned... just go sit init, and get re-aquainted.
Personally, I'd get a correct 302 back in there.

Sounds like she's home

Or just follow the 468 with a 427 for A or B. Pretty cool to get your old car back. You could always hide it at the car lot and see how long it takes her to notice lol.
