I grew up shortly after the musclecar era, and I worked in my dad's shop 
after school and in the summers.  One of our customers was a used car 
lot and one day they sent us an El Camino to work on.  OK, at the height 
of the musclecar era Chebbie came out with the 454 Chevelle!  I don't 
have to say anything about how great the Chevelle was.  The 454 started 
with the 396, evolved to the mighty 427 (which I was driving at the 
time) and then on to the 454.  And they had the soft versions of the 
engines with hydraulic lifters and so forth on to the high compression 
versions with radical mechanical lifter cams and more performance 
oriented heads.  Well this Camino had the LS6 454- mechanical lifters 
and all.  I put a clutch in it and wanted to keep it but my dad couldn't 
understand it.  Well in my eyes it wasn't equal to a 454 Chevelle but it 
was still something special.  If someone had that vehicle today they 
would really have something.  I don't kid myself that I could hold onto 
a vehicle like that through all of the misfortunes of life over the past 
35 years but it is still fun to dream about it.
