How many classic car owners can point to the single car in their collection that embodies their automotive education? How many enthusiasts can point to one vehicle that set them on their life path? On both fronts, Adam Martin certainly can. As a sixteen year-old in 1990s Minnesota, Martin used his pizza-making earnings to buy a primer-gray 1968 Chevrolet Camaro–complete with Cragar wheels, of course–that had been ridden hard and put away wet. Aside from being able to change oil and identify a spark plug, the teenage Martin knew little about mechanics but quickly set out to educate himself. To this day, the Camaro retains the marks (one might even say scars) of this education.
