RE: Part Two: Why My Home Town's Residents Love Bagpipes And Parades
Exactly right. It was a 327. He custom built a camaro...he used parts from 7 different years. Then, he built me a custom Scamp. That's back when we could afford gas...lmao. Now, I drive a smart car and he drives a VW TDI Golf
totally about fuel economy. Life changes.
I knew it! I would love to see some pictures of it, possibly? Well, let me take a stab at the year.... 1969 for the Camaro and 1971 for the Scamp?
Here you go...HAHAHA! Oh the good old days
AWESOME! Well, I was way off on the Camaro but the Scamp looks close if not a 71? BOTH are great! Thanks for the pic!
The Camaro was a 79...but it was totally a custom build. Parts from 7 different years. The Scamp was a 72 and I originally paid $100 for it. Front fenders were replaced and 1 of the quarter panels. It had a 318 in it and handled like a BIG boat. If I turned the steering wheel too quickly, I'd be on the other side of the road...like driving a riding lawnmower at 80 mph. Seriously, you could fit several bodies in the trunk. (Joking) LOL!
LMFAO 😂😂
He got a lot of tickets for excessive speeding in that car...
He built it in 88-89, then my Scamp in 91, which was a barn-find and complete restoration. It was the same year that we were married and it was a gift to me from him.
I'm 5 feet tall and could barely see over the dash. That car was amazing.
We sold them both a few years later and sensibly moved on. Hahaha!
