Cool pic

[370Z/28]

Seeing Howard's dash pic reminded me of this cool pic that I snapped. Funny, I posted this on Facebook and all my friends and even my KIDS thought it was real. Made me feel good that everybody would think that at 57 years old, I would drive through the city of Memphis @ 165mph and hold a camera/phone in the other hand.

Teeheehee...I thought the shelves on the left would have given me away. My son said "mom, at least put your seat belt on".



It took me quite a few times to catch them like that.

Cool!! What were you doing to the z that you had the rear end up?
And, it does remind me of when Cameron killed the car!!

When you crank the car, all the guages go all the way over like that. I don't know why. It is cool looking though. Took me quite a few times to catch them in that position.

I was in my Camaro once when they dynoed it. I took pics of the dash but I never got that roll of film developed (yes, that long ago). Don't really know where that roll even ended up.

Don't really know where that roll even ended up.

I have so many actual pictures from the past that are lost it's pathetic. I have one crappy shot of my '78 Cutlass and no pix of my '67 Camaro anymore. I welcomed the digital age and have my pix backed up and offsite in case my house burns down.

You had a '67 Camaro?



Of all the GM f-bodies I have owned, I have never had a 1st gen.

I would die if I lost my photos and keepsakes and memos. I have had a really fun life.

Yeah, back in '90 I had a poor beat-up '67. It was out of NY so it was a rust monster. Supposedly the motor was recently rebuilt but it still blew some lifters after 6 months and eventually it lost some rings when I had the lifters fixed. I had it stripped to metal and sporting new SS Ralley wheels and BFG tires at the time. It was a fun car. Original paint was the dark navy blue with a white stripe on the nose. It was turquoise when I bought it....and full of bondo.

After the motor blew it was parked until one day I came home and it was gone. My first wife had sold it without me being asked....she sold it for $400 less than I still owed on it.

I'm glad you said "1st wife". I would have killed her.

Check out this baby at the auto museum Saturday. What a beautiful car.

'69 with hide-aways. nice.

Right before I purchased the '67 I had a coworker wanting to sell his '69. It had a solid primer body, mags, hide-away headlights, and 350 V8 in great condition (chromed out). He wanted about $1k more than I could afford so I settled on the '67 (which had the 250 straight-6 BTW). A month later he traded it in on a new car and settled with getting $500 less than I would have paid for it. I wanted to kill him....

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg! Personally, I like the 67-68 more than the 69. Lot cleaner lines. I would take any of the 3 though.

I like the '68 as it has side markers and no vent window. I like the '69 hide-away covers more than the 67-68's.
