1968 Chevy Camaro Ownership Changes Life Path [VIDEO]
Adam Martin’s 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, “Lucy”
The old adage “do what you like and you’ll never work another day in your life” may be a bit of a cliché, but it’s one that rings true for Adam Martin. He found his calling in life early on when he met and fell in love with “Lucy”—a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro.
As a teenage pizza-maker earning $8-10 per hour in 1990s Minnesota, Adam scraped together enough cash to buy the beater, but he soon found that restoring it required a lot more time and money. To figure out how to do the labor himself, he took an auto shop class in high school, and then took a full-time garage position after he graduated.
When he heard about a school’s auto restoration program, Adam ended up making the decision to go to college, which is one of the ways Lucy truly changed his life.
Listen to Adam tell the story himself in this video:
