I don't think there's very many folks in this world who can say they own the car that when they were born they came home from the hospital in, but I can. This car was my Dad's pride and joy, he had bought it right off the showroom floor of Joseph Chevrolet in Cincinnati, Ohio in August of 1968. Since then the cars been through a lot, after Dad passed away a sat unused for nearly 10 years (mom didn't handle Dad's passing well and wouldn't let anyone touch it), then after a half wit mechanic took his time rebuilding the original 327 engine the car was nearly totaled in a accident back in 2009 that also involved a 1970 Monte Carlo. After a full body restoration we've been running around Northern Ky and Cincinnati ever since. The winter was a little harsh and it quit running, so once the weather broke I had it towed, had a tune up done, installed some rear coil springs, and replaced the starter and on the road we were again. Needing to run the old gas out we drove it about 200 miles yesterday, the Ft. Ancient Trading Post was once of our stops and a great place to take a picture I think.
