67 Camaro Small Block

I had a Camaro, my pride and joy. She was fast as the wind. My " big girl's " toy. A three fifty small block engine that purred. When I revved that motor it was all that you heard. Zero to sixty on a dime. I had a lead foot then, most of the time. I've settled down some now that I'm old. My current car is slow, like me, I am told. But when I hear a motor that roars in my ears, it brings back memories that can bring me to tears, of a lead footed girl and her car that could race. Remembering them both brings a smile to my face. 04/12/2015

I know how you feel. Back in the day I surprised my wife with a like new 1954 T-Bird. She still gets a little teary eyed when she thinks about it.

wow, Francine, this is really GOOD work. Written just how it should have been by the prideful owner of that old Camaro.

Mine was a 1970 Chevelle SS. I had up to 155. down the state parkway along lake Ontario. Wish I would have kept that car.

COOL! Cars that can bring a smile to our face usually have a history like yours... when you were lead footed without a care in the world! Well done Francine! Best wishes, Keith

What great memory of a classic. I had a 95 mustang convertible v8. It could really fly. I remember burying the needle over 120 and it still had some to give.

I did 120 all the time in this thing, was a straight long highway between where we lived and town, traffic was much lighter back then,
