This is a 1967 model, the only difference is the '66 didn't have the turn signal indicators on top of the front fenders, and of course the 383 HP emblem on the side. |
It would be interesting to know exactly what happened to our old cars. I'm sure they likely found their ways to a junk yard to be salvaged and/or scrapped for metal. They certainly had thicker metal skins in those days! I traded mine in for a Chevy a new pickup in 1978, and as I recall they only gave me $50 trade-in on it! But that was okay with me, because at least I didn't have to spend money to tow it to a salvage yard.
And I just remembered, my very first car was actually a worn out 1961 or 1962 Pontiac Lemans hardtop. Very sporty for the time, but certainly no muscle car. I forgot about it because it was handed down from my oldest brother to my other brother, who then passed it down to me. They were quite a bit older than me, both drove the heck out of it, I it became mine when I was only 14. The car was in bad mechanical shape, and I couldn't drive until 16 so it sat in the back yard and deteriorated more. Eventually my brother and I towed t to a scrap yard after mom got tired of seeing it in the back yard! Funny how that slipped my mind, but since I never drove it I guess I really cannot count it as the first car.
