1970 GTO Dies in Junkyard

by Pat C

Back in 1977, a 15-year-old Larry F. embarked on his automotive journey with a $400 purchase of a 1970 Pontiac GTO. Despite needing a bit of love, it roared to life and even survived a Cardinal red makeover. Fast forward to a heartbreaking day in a GTO junkyard, where Larry and his son stumbled upon the skeletal remains of his beloved car. Missing its bumpers, engine, and more, it was a sad sight. Larry joked about almost shedding tears, with his son confirming, “I thought you were going to cry too.”

As a posh cousin to the Bel Air, it flaunted a snazzy design with horizontal headlights and triple tail lights—perfect for attracting envious gazes. Under the hood, it offered a smorgasbord of engine choices, from a peppy Blue Flame six to a hearty 348 V8. With its jazzy interiors and “eager-to-please” handling, this car was the bee’s knees, helping Chevy reclaim the sales crown.

In 1969, Ford revved up its NASCAR game, birthing the sleek Ford Talladega—a street beast born from racing and aerodynamic wizardry. This car’s slick design wasn’t just for show; it shaved wind like a barber with a vendetta, all thanks to its custom sheet metal. Under the hood, it roared with a 428 Cobra Jet, enough to make any gearhead’s heart race faster than the car itself. With a bench seat and column shifter, it was practically a family car—if your family raced to the grocery store at 150 mph!

Dodge Charger 1969 Daytona

by Ross Mills

The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona was born out of necessity, but it became an icon of speed—and questionable fashion choices. With a nose piece that added 1,200 pounds of down-force and a rear wing that looked like it moonlighted as a surfboard, this car wasn’t winning beauty contests, but it sure won races. The 440 Magnum engine roared to 205 mph, while the optional 426 Hemi made it a rocket on wheels. Alas, the Daytona’s glory days ended with a new NASCAR rule, proving even legends need to retire.
