Tom Bright had owned his Tor Red 1970 Plymouth GTX for all of three weeks when he pulled it into the Belvidere MOPAR Happening and fired up the 440 Six-Barrel for the camera. It’s a rare 440-6, four-speed combination finished in one of Mopar’s loudest High Impact colors, complete with the functional Air Grabber hood fans still talk about today. Watch the engine start and hear why he calls it his bucket-list car.
David Freiburger’s on-camera shout of “Thermoquad!” during Roadkill’s General Mayhem build turned an obscure Carter carburetor into a legend — but few people actually know what makes one different.
