Victoryredcolorado videos has evolved from a start in automotive photography (Jimeez Photos) to a go to source for what's happening at north central Illinois racetracks today. Located central to RT66 Joliet, Byron Dragway and Cordova Raceway I am lucky to have 3 tracks to shoot from. Thank you for viewing!
UNVEILING A HIDDEN GEM! RARE LIMELIGHT '70 PLYMOUTH GTX! RT66 JOLIET!
At the dragstrip, where an array of cars parades before your eyes, there lies a joy in discovering hidden treasures that only reveal their true worth over time. Such is the tale of the 1970 Plymouth GTX, proudly owned by the dynamic duo of “Mopar John” and Linda Borzych.
This car boasts a unique history and an unmistakable appearance, thanks to its striking FJ5 Limelight paint. Back in the late '60s and early '70s, Mopar offered a handful of high-impact colors, and Limelight was one of them. In 1970, Plymouth made it an option, albeit at an extra cost of $14.00. John’s GTX was the very first to sport the FJ5 option, and it belonged to an exclusive club of just 478 vehicles adorned in this eye-catching green hue. Remarkably, it was also the third '70 GTX ever assembled.
The car wears its original stripes, vinyl top, stainless trim, and glass-a testament to its authenticity and rarity. But what truly sets this GTX apart is the fascinating story of how John acquired it. In March 1970, with a mere 8,000 miles on the odometer, the car had been stolen, stripped down, and later recovered. John seized the opportunity to resurrect it as a drag car, restoring it to its former glory.
Fast forward over five decades, and the GTX now roars with power. Nestled under the hood is a 1970 factory block, its crank stroked to a robust 493 cubic inches. INDY SR heads, meticulously ported, boast Max Wedge intake ports. And the pièce de résistance? A Quick Fuel 1050 CFM Dominator gas-type carburetor.
John’s journey with this remarkable machine began in 1973 when he entered the NHRA Division 3 ET division. Over the years, he has battled it out on the track, reaching the finals multiple times. The 1970 Plymouth GTX-more than just a car, it’s a living legend, a testament to passion, resilience, and the thrill of the dragstrip. #car #dragrace #gtx #limelight

That being said, Lee Kapustka has built one of the cleanest cloned examples you'll find, albeit it's now a drag car under the stock looking body shell. Featuring a 500-cubic inch big block chrysler engine, there's plen...

Sick look and sound 🔥 (‘21 TT RS owner).
they will cut your shit up because it not worth a dime after you do it..
67 impala goneeeeeeeeee
Wow !!!😮 Big Berths can really move😮👍🏽
I owned a 63 and it self destructed
Love the looks and sound. Disappointed in the time though. SLOPAR or no car I guess.
Shame
When you get this weird suspicion your car wants to end you..
C est là où passe le pognon? Remboursement
You prolly could buy a decent house but money is no object to go fast.
Bro, it's like a fire breathing dragon. What is the steam shooting hood in the beginning?
Nitrous 👍
@@victoryredcolorado wow. Crazy. Thanks for responding sir.
I'm. Not one of those ass wipes I actually have the picture of proof at E Town that was the awesome track in NJ my man .... I'll try to send it to you ...he hung out with the best ..Don Garlits . have pictures of him putting fuel in the dragster ..❤ 🎉 it's in my blood just need $$ n I'll set a national record too
Where did you get certified ? What a great car ..... I'm an old head... I have ss / in my blood can't shake what dad passed down he was m/s Champion in 1963 with 1957 post 57 Chevy Bill Doyle he lived the life ...he knew exactly everyone ..I can say ... only way to top dad's story's is to accomplish top fuel or something .... very expensive... bucket list I mean like dad n I went into the bathroom at an event n John Force n all of us came out n he's like Doyle you got a ride? I was dumbfounded ...😮 .. . ..
Byron Dragway. Interesting story!👍
Not a Nova what the hell are they talking about
You're looking at another video link?
Makes me miss my 68 Ford Fairlane with a beefed up 289 :( bought it from a retired truck driver who wife made he sell it bc he had too many toys...lucky me :)
Nice, I had a white '69 Torino in high school that I traded a '71 vega for. The trans went out then the heater core etc. I've been a chevy guy since 😄👍
@victoryredcolorado Yep it ran pretty good :) daily driver for a while and even had a beefed up c6 with shift kit and a hurst shifter...it was quicker then it looked :) ole boy in town with a 350 s10 found that out the hard way
A cammed, blown, nitrous big block is music.
They have their own kind of sound right! 👍
Whoa....yeah baby!!!
I had a 66fairlane that same color
Nice! 👍
Sharp 68
67 look at the tail light. 68 were round. I did have a 67 wagon back in the day.
Now , That's how its done !
What da wheelstand👍👍👍
Thats badaSS. Love this Bbody hearse wagon.
Priola?
Is this the king James drag car ?
Yes good eye!👍
*67 Camaro
Ya know you're right. The owner said 68 but the grille lights and vent window are 67. 👍
@@victoryredcoloradoI wonder why the owner didn't know 😂 I grew up around classic cars, so my OCD took control here. Either way, badass drag car ⚡️
Damn, that's cute!
In Black Jade! My dad had one just like it except that his was a C6.
Nice!
Poor little 409
Where can I buy one of these? I have coin..
It was for sale but last I heard the guy blew up the engine 😑
11.7 is awesome for a heavy Chevy probably weighs about 4200lbs
Definitely 👍
What, no reverse? Right out of 1964!!! I am 76
WHEN💩🧠🧠🧠🧠DON'T KNOW MODEL YEARS!
😄 Yeah 67 but I've swear the owner said 68.
This is the second video this week I have seen where the nostalgia FED car has a Ford "Banjo" rear end. This amazes me because the first old dragster I purchased (1975) had one as well. i thought it was a one-off. I got almost two seasons out of it.
Cool!
Nice run!! Takes some oats to move that car to an 11.
You got that right!👍
Love It!!!!!
Thanks for watching!👍
6 seconds? 200 mph in what...6 seconds in a qt is a lil more than 200 Timer read 7 at over 2
Huh 6.98 sec

Lol, and into the other lane. Good thing the other dude held back
How bout it!👍
Lol butternut
Butter these .... right 😄👍
JUST LOVE IT.
That car is awesome 👍👍
Baddest 66 Chevelle around

Too bad about the slush box instead of an M22
