My grandpa was a master mechanic and always drove some cool cars. He wouldn't drive them in the rain or snow and maintained them so they remained as a new car. In 1975 I was 17 and my grandpa decided it was time for a new car. He sold it to me for a measly $1,000. I couldn't believe that I suddenly had such a cool car! I installed a Corvette cam, headers, Z28 intake, holley carb and 4:11 posi in it ... grandpa wasn't so keen on me souping it up but appearance wise, I kept the car looking factory original. This photo was taken in 1977 in Akron, Ohio, where I was working at the time. View full size.
