Nice Camaro! I have an old HS friend that has restored a '69 RS. He's done a great job with it, but now he's thinking about selling it. If I could only afford what he's asking for it. He had a '68 RS (had a high-revving 327 w/Powerglide trans) in HS and he ended up selling it for a "party van". I could not believe he did that, and I know he's kicking himself for it nowadays.

Here is my barn find... anyone know what it is? 80,000 original miles

I've just started looking at these posts. It looks like a 1968 Ford Galaxy, that
could very well be an unmarked Cobra.

Rusty Staub had one in 1968. He was the only General I knew with a
legitimate job. I think he made assistant manager at a Humpty Dumpty -
which means he held a job for over 6 months.

Rusty had an incredible Galaxy 500 fastback. Dark Green. I'll swear it had a
428 Cleveland, but I don't know. Rusty was very humble, so he probably
kicked Ferguson's butt in a race.

Well it is actually a 66 galaxy 500 7-litre 428 with all the badging of 7-litre, bucket seats console, 93/8 rear end, c6 tranny, a pretty bullet proof setup it has, and this one is green.

My parents had a 66 LTD with a 390 in it when I was little, bought used in 1968 at Dub Richardson Ford. I vaguely remember the night that they bought it at the used lot where Wendy's is now. Scott Chevrolet was still across the street where Carpet World used to be.

One thing I remember about that LTD, the A/C worked so well that you could get frost on the registers on the dash.

It was the same burgundy color as the one on this brochure.

I'll never forget getting smoked by a '74 Kawasaki Mach 3 at the Stroud

bouncing between 100 and 120. The Mach 3 made me look like I was parked.
Those old Kawasaki triples (http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/exhibits/superbikes/Mach.asp) were mean for a 500cc 2-stroke triple, it didn't have a throttle, it was an on/off switch.

Yo' Idiot! The guy who rebuilt this car, from the ground up in 1966, had it
professionally undercoated. One day he went on a weekend trip. His wife
decided to do him a big favor. She went to TG&Y and bought several cans
of spray paint. She did a two-tone in an afternoon! There's still paint on
the windows LOL!
