Looking at this reminds me of the one a classmate got for graduation that year. 1970 was a tough year on high performance cars. Never made it thru the summer. Barrel rolled and scrapped.
Another guy got a spankin' new 440/6 pack Road Runner. That one bounced between both safety rails on a bridge, then barrel rolled down the embankment and ended up flipping end to end into his girlfriends yard....absolute scrap with less than 1,000 miles. 2 very drunk kids, walked away with scrapes and cuts and I think the driver got a broken arm. Gawd that was a long time ago to remember clearly. I seem to remember him in a cast, walking across the stage for his diploma. Car never made it to graduation day...
