GTO First Car

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.”

by Kiril

Muscle cars aren’t just vehicles; they’re an attitude on wheels. Take Eleanor, the iconic 1967 Mustang from “Gone in 60 Seconds,” a true embodiment of muscle car spirit. These beasts, often powered by roaring V8 engines, dominated drag racing from the ’60s to ’80s. With insane torque and horsepower, they offer rides that’ll make your jaw drop—and maybe your toupee fly off. Thanks to innovations like Dodge’s all-wheel drive Challenger GT, driving these monsters isn’t just for sunny days anymore!

In 1966, Chevy rolled out the Nova SS, a lean, mean machine inspired by the Super Nova concept. With a standard 194 cu in inline six-cylinder engine, it was ready to purr on the roads. Of course, Chevy offered the option to pack more punch with its array of big and small blocks. The Base SS was a steal, costing just $159 more than the entry 400 version. Thanks to Gateway classic cars, you can feast your eyes on these beauties. Because nothing says ’66 like a Nova SS – the car so nice, they named it twice!
