Re: Your new musclecar
Travis,
Bought my 71 Chevelle "Heavy Chevy" new in Aug of 71. Drove it to Boston to visit relatives when it had about 600 miles on it. Made its first drag strip runs at New England Dragway on Sept 1 1971, still have the time slips and ... still have the car !

Re: Your new musclecar
After spending a year in Viet Nam and reading any hot rod magazines I could get a hold of, I decided that I would buy a GTX when I got home.
Went to the dealer I worked for in high school and ordered a green 68 GTX. The next day he said you got to get a 69 because the 68 model was done. A couple days later he told me there was a green one in Lansing, do you want it? The rest was history and I still have it today.
