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did was check the VIN and cowl tags its the one allright .Most of it is a little rough and the original drive train has been replaced by a 468" monster but its still the cutie I remember as I haven't laid eyes on it for at least thirty years - maybe more as it spent most of its life in storage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 .........
