"It's my car, and I'm driving it.", said my drunk friend shortly before he wrapped his late 60s El Camino around a tree in 1974. God looks after fools and drunks (he was both), because he didn't get a scratch.
I had a 1970 SS 396, royal blue metallic, white stripes, white vinyl roof, light blue interior, auto on the floor, full power and electric. A gorgeous ride. Paid $1800 for it in 1973.

ReplyDeleteI bought one off one of those fly by night used car lots back in the 70s. I was just married and broke and it was a piece of crap.
