While maybe not my "dream" car at the time, I was certainly taken with the looks of the '69 Chevelle SS396 when they came out in late '68. I was still in High School then, so of course it was out of my reach. But I was lucky enough to spot one parked for the winter beside a farmhouse a few years later (1974). I would see it every day during my commute so I finally worked up the courage to go to the house and inquire about it. Turns out it belonged to the farmer's son-in-law. At first he didn't want to sell, but after pestering him for 2 or 3 months we agreed on a price - $1400. Anyway the point is I still own the car, it's been with me all this time, so maybe now it IS my dream car.
