I turned 16 in 1982. I got my Aunt & Uncle's '68 Chevelle Malibu. Gramps paid $500 for it, had the brakes done on it and then I was on my own with any maintenance or upgrades. I drove it through college.
First pic is in its original form, parked in front of my Aunt & Uncle's house in the early 70's. They had it repainted shortly after that to a color that resembles Nehi Blue Creme Soda. It was nicknamed "The Blue Bomb" by my high school classmates.
Second pic is what it looked like a couple of months ago when we started stripping it to have it restored.
Third pic is when Steve took it to the body shop in late September of this year.
I haven't chosen the final color, but it'll be a more modern version of the original Grotto Blue.
