It just goes to show you how back in the 60s and 70s nobody knew that those cars would be worth the kind of money that they are today. My father has said many times, "If we'd known that, we'd have stocked barns full of them."
Yeah my dad had a 70 SS El Camino, and a 69 Camaro SS/RS pace car. My grand father had a 1st year MOnte Carlo SS. Uncle had a 70(maybe it was a 71) Mach1. Lot of nice muscle went though my family. My aunt had a Camaro, I'm sure i'm forgetting a few other cars they had.
