When your car was new...

1970 Chevelle- I was 18 years away from being born...mom was a sophomore in high school and dad was a junior.

1974 El Camino Classic- I was 14 years away from being born, mom and dad had just met.

Don't worry, I'll be 28 this year so you only got a few years on me. It is amazing that most of our members are teens or at least in their "partying" years. When I was in high school no one liked my ride but me & a couple of girls impressed with loud exhaust. In college, everyone was into the first F&F movie & had gawdy wings with stupid body kits on their Honda Civics. Glad kids are starting to swing back to rear wheel drive V8's.

just turned 18 today but i first got my elky at 15 years old after i restored and sold my 81 el camino
then i got my 77 malibu classic for parts for the el camino and some how i got the crazy idea to restore it so that is what i am doing =p

Happy birthday.

i think a lot of it has to do with these cars being one of the few remaining ways to get into an old car at a young age.

lol well some people never appreciated these cars because of the weight
but i love the body lines, i love driving a giant car
and im sure the youngins would much rather be driving something like a 71 chevelle or 69 chevelle, you know.... whatevers trendy

but even at full weight my 77 is only 3900 pounds which is only 300-400 pounds more than a g-body

yeah but people judge them as a whole not individually, they either hate them all together or like them alltogether like me

Wrong ... you DO fit into the picture ... because as a youngster on here (as apparently are many others) you own a piece of HISTORY ... something that most kids your age probably look down on because they don't have the "latest this" or "newest that" on 'em.............

Ouch, salt on the wound...... I miss that car . Actually I was talking about the 73 Chevelle. She went to a new home down by Tulsa to a member on here that goes by "Kikker918". Kikker hasn't posted, but checked out the site prior to the trade. He was pretty excited to be getting the car & I had no use for it, so I'm OK with seeing that one go to a good home.

Yeah it's OK. I'm in the process of selling/trading my Samurai to get either another Cutlass, an Elky, or just something V8 powered to hold me over until I get Brown Eye finished. Any takers can PM me, LoL.
