Since we'r telling stories...got my 1st car in 77 at 15.
My older brother went thru 2 BB(396&427) Camaro's and 2 FB's(400&455) before i was old enough to drive. All were 67-8. Always the guy to beat, especially when he had the birds...so i was hooked on the f-bodies. After looking at many, found my 1st car.
68FB/350HO/st300/3.23 posi for $400 Next year converted it to a RAIII 400(GTO)th350(78TA), 3.73 posi, headers, nitrous, etc... After awhile, no one would race me on the street. It was getting beat up from body flex and midwest weather. While looking for a driver, i found my 2nd car...at 17.
67FB/400/4spd/3.36 posi. p/b-p/s-hood tach. It was in good shape, all original except GTO 3x2's, stereo, and wheels, so i didnt abuse it. Just drove it until someone wanted to race. It was faster then most anything out there, but i would say, hold on, i'll be right back
The 68 body got sold in 82 The 67's been waiting on me to restore since 93.
Well, i finally got started last year, but decided i needed a street/strip car so i dont ruin the 67(race), so found another 68 that should be in the 11's(NA) this year
