Lets go for a ride
 

A friend of mine is bringing over his 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS to take for a spin. She’s a two door hardtop with an unforgiving 454 LS5 V-8 and four on the floor. Goddamn it! I do long for the days when a “mans car” was a “mans car”.

Memo to Junior: Fuck you and that POS rice rocket you "drifted" in on! |fuckyou|

Got any pics, Id love to see it?

I have been searching for something just like that...kind of. Anything Chevy and anything between 64 and 70.

Damn those were fun! That LS5 will snap your head real nice (the LS6 even more).

I was 15 in 1970 but I had a friend a year older. He bought a '69 Chevelle SS from an "old head" in the neighborhood who'd just won it in a card game. It had the 427 COPO package, with no exterior trim to say it was an SS or a 427. We had some fun racing it on Front Street in Philadelphia back then. Until he crashed it anyway. By then it had a supercharger and everyone knew what was under the hood anyway though.

My first car was a '67 Firebird 400 convertible. Wrecked it. Actually it was while driving with the owner of the Chevelle too. Bought a hot metallic blue '67 GTO 400 H.O. after that. Didn't wreck it. Traded it for a powder blue '64 Impala SS 327 convertible. Didn't wreck it. Went a different direction and traded it on a pair of Cadillacs. A turquoise blue '60 and a lime green '61. Both four door Sedan de Villes.

I used to love trading cars. Going to auctions and making deals on unsold ones. Racing them. Sometimes wrecking them and having to start over.

I miss the days when a man's car was a man's car, and when it was so much fun trading around.

Try not to spend your fortune here!

Holy shit Simon! You've had some sweet rides. Those 67 "goats" were cool as hell IMHO.

Jim: I don't blame you Chevy made some great rides in that era.

Terry: I don't have any pics of it. If it were mine I would prolly have a ton.

You're friend is so lucky to have that...:)
