Mel Hedrick of Mel's Drive In, Racing & Restorations, Inc. purchased a junkyard. He sends us pictures and stories for some of the Pontiacs that came with it. The cars are located at an old county tow truck company that was called upon by the local Police to remove vehicles from accident scenes many years ago. This first one is a black 1966 GTO that was hit by a train in 1973. All 3 passengers were killed.CLICK-> 
Rear view of this smashed black 1966 GTO. The trunk lid looks to be in pretty good shape. This would be a nice junkyard find. Ever found parts in a junkyard before? It is always an adventure, hauling a big piece of sheetmetal back through the woods to the junkyard office.CLICK-> 
Trains and cars don't mix. Many times, after impact, a car will get dragged a mile down the road by the train before it can stop.CLICK-> 
Here's another of Mel Hedrick's old Pontiacs. This 1966 OHC6 Sprint is the remains of a deadly street race when the car was hit in the passenger side sometime in the early 70's. The car has been sitting so long that trees are growing up through the engine compartment.CLICK-> 
1966 OHC6 Sprint looks like it was red. It is being humped by an Oldsmobile.CLICK-> 
Here's a white 1966 GTO in Mel's yard. This one was used in a Bank robbery in 1969. The robbers didn't get away after slamming the car into a police road block. That is the driver's door being used to prop the car up on its side. Some of the car's underside components have been removed. Someone must have needed the brakes and suspension parts.CLICK-> 
Front end view of this junker. It is a white 1966 GTO. The bank robbery getaway car. The engine got away.CLICK-> 
  
These pictures where shot by John Bovard Austell, Georgia the day he purchased his Marina Turquoise GTO hardtop new in 1966. The car was later stolen and totaled into a tree after outrunning the police on three occasions one night.CLICK-> 
Left rear view of John's long gone Marina Turquoise 1966 GTO hardtop.CLICK-> 
Another vintage photo. Ahhhh Yes! TRIPOWER! ... This is what a "factory correct" tripower looks like. That's because, this picture was taken the day the car was bought from the dealership in 1966! |
