It started out for me with the 1st Smokey and the Bandit movie....God I loved that car
My parents would stop by the Pontiac dealer with me just so I could see "The" car up close and get to sit in it (I guess I was about 6 or 7 then). Then they were car shopping (78/79) at Pine Belt Chevrolet, and I remember this beautiful yellow and black Z-28 sitting there that I begged them to buy. We ended up with a '79 Malibu Station Wagon
but I knew from that point on that a Z-28 would be mine some day. I'm on my 4th f-body now.
