That is one damn fine car!!

In '69, did Chevy make SS and RS versions?

Thanks. 'Bought it in a bucket. Finished it, then sold it to go racing. No regrets, but I do miss it.

Yes, they made a SS in '69.

RS was a "trim" option, so you could get it on plain jane (simply RS), SS, or Z28's.

Tim, that 69 Z is a beauty. I just shorted out the keyboard.:drooling:

Thanks. I always thought the '70 Cranberry Red worked well on that car.

I debated for a long time whether to go with the original color or not (Leman's Blue), but damn it, I wanted a red one. And after 5 years of frame off restoration, I figured I deserved that.:D

I miss it, but I do have visitation rights...I sold it to my bosses boss at the time.

oooo formula ford, that must have been fun

Formula Continental!!!

2.0L instead of 1.6L, bigger tires, and wings!! 'Good couple seconds a lap quicker at a place like Limerock than a FF.

Okay, you got me, in Europe they are called Formula Ford 2000 instead of Formula Continental :D:D

Fun, no. Religious experience, yes. Fun simply doesn't cover it.

I used to play a mean game of beach volleyball in the early to mid-90's. In one year I played 15 of 20 tourneys up and down the Jersey shore. Since I lived in north Jersey, I became intimately familiar with the GSP during that time. Living out of my car for the weekend became the norm too. :eek:

Eventually, my partner (2-man team) moved out of Jersey and the interest faded.

Thank goodness for that!

Cool. I ran up at OVRP too...

It was fun, but I never got into it as much as I thought I would. Dunno' why. Not sure if it was because it seemed so tame after the Formula Continental or because the kart drove/handled so differently from a suspended car w/a differential or because I couldn't figure out how to tune the chassis in a way that made sense to me.

The last year I had it I only was motivated to hit the track once, so away she went...

My buddy Bruce (used to race Formula Atlantic--top 10 in national championships in the early 90's) ended up the same place.

Sad really...it is sooo much cheaper than FC it'd been great if I could've gotten really into it...
