Took my 71 elky for its first ride today. went through the neighborhood a couple of times no major problems,just a few rattles and such. engine didn't blow up and the trans shifted so I was a happy guy!! need an alignment and its off to woodward Ave.!

Congrats! I think the maiden voyage is the best. you get behind the wheel and hope you remembered to tighten, fill, recheck everything. And you still hope it doesnt leave you stranded! jim

Who was it?? Journey? that did the song "Fells like the first time".. how true, nothing is as good as the first time, But driving a Camino comes close to a first time EVERY TIME :)
