Well technically I drove away but they came and found me lol

I was 17 and I think I was in shock. And it was AFTER they flipped it back on it’s wheels.
I walked away from mine to. Only for an ambulance ride to get my face washed. The GTO was towed away, and later stripped of what I could sell off it. The rest went to the scrapyard.

I pulled a lot of parts off mine as well and built another . I’ll post pics of it here at some point .
I also found my RAIV because of it.

That’s an old friend of mine, John Valente of New Castle, Delaware. That was a stock four barrel car that ran 12.7s consistently and it was completely legal. It was call “The Blue Spectre.” The car looks black in the photo, but it was dark blue. He bought the car new and it was his daily driver for a couple years. He was a heck of a great driver and mechanic. After the GTO he built modified production cars and was very successful.

Those Sunoco pumps had a lead seal to prevent dialing past 260, but the stations near me cut off the seal- and sold "270" to us. The 270 was selling for 15 cents during a gas war here in 1961- we filled all the 5 gallon cans we could get our hands on! [I needed the 270 for the 13:1 Pontiac in my '60 Falcon]
