A pre El Paso, Tx, Dyer St. Story from high school.
1969 the 69 Z28 just got me all kind of excited. Made a deal with my dad to let me buy one with my own lawn mower. hay bale and bean walking money. I was 15 at the time and a sophomore. After I hit 16 I could buy my dream car was the deal.
In the mean time as I'm aging, a rich *** hole junior's, dad bought him the exact Z28 I lusted after. He had it for a couple months and totaled it. His dad buying it for him and him wrecking it took away all my desire to ever own a Z28.
We had a pair of 49 Plymouths that I drove all thru high school. Use to turn them any way but loose. Lol
I later bought a 55 2 door hard top chevy that had had a 301 in it be for I got it. It had a tilt frontend.
Do you know the differance between a 301 and a 302 chevy?
Funny but my step son has a redone black 69 Z with a unoriginal 302 in it.
