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.

Larry joked about almost shedding tears, with his son confirming, “I thought you were going to cry too.”
