In its latest episode, Petrolicious shares the story of Adam Martin and his 1968 Camaro nicknamed ‘Lucy’.
Classic Camaros will always occupy a special corner in the muscle car universe and people will love and cherish the original Mustang nemesis.
The muscle car culture has been forged from stories like Adam Martin’s. This is all about the bond between man and machine, with Adam happily admitting that his engineering skills were far from adequate when he started the restoration almost two decades ago. The car itself is far from a perfect restoration, but after you watch the video, you can see that this was never the point.
Adam describes his Camaro as a family member that made him grease his hands over the last 18 years of ownership. It may not have the perfect paint job or even have a radio, but with a big block 454ci V8 under the hood and tons of love and personal commitment invested in it, it doesn’t need them as the smile in his face shows us.
