Now Official Caretaker of Pop's '68
 

Pop's is hitting 75 this month and spends most of his time in Ensenada, Mexico these days..Retired white guy learned spanish, living the dream...Whatever....

Anyways he got sick of paying over $300 a month to keep his Vette in storage, so I volunteered to let him keep it at my place, but he wants me to keep it clean and drive it once in a while...reluctantly I agreed/:lol:

Anyhow, thought I would post up some pics to shares...

that's awesome! they could just replace that data plate with "frickin fast!" :thumbs:

Your dad rocks :thumbs:

Your Pop is "da Man"!!!!!

What horrible chores to be tasked with...I'd be upset if I were you. :rofl:

Nice 68:rock:

I like the stripes. Nice car.

I like the stripes too
And what's not to love about a 435 horse....

Holy mackerel, is he giving you gas money too?

The $300 a month that he's saving on storage might cover this. Maybe. :rofl:

Great looking car!

What a nice son you are... :grouphug: ..taking on the drudgery of auto 'maintenance' for dear old Dad. :D

Boy, do I hate chores! C'mon Dad, do I have to take care of the '68! And I have to drive it around too! The injustice of it all!

:D

You are a good son. :D

Hi b,
Very nice looking car you're going to be taking care of!
Did he maintain 'visitation rights'? I hope so!!!!
Regards,
Alan

The REAL question is : who will he leave it to when he's gone ?
I think he may be MY dad as well, so dont go getting too attached to that car just yet ! :D
Very fine 68 ! :thumbs:

"drive it once and while" - he probably doesn't mean in 1/4 mile increments... but what fun it would be, enjoy.

That thing is a BEAST!

My heart is breaking for you......:D

Everyone check out where the redline starts on the tachometer :thumbs:
