PODCAST – Friday, June 21: AJ Vs. Ashley! Plus, Hippies, “Toy Story,” And Drama In Madison

An ’80s music challenge between AJ and Ashley wasn’t even close (0:00), Producer Phil and his girlfriend Amanda review “Toy Story 4” (9:14), Fran Capo’s incredible visit to the Titanic wreckage (19:34), Attorney Matt Paradisi talks about the Madison teacher that was fired – for her political beliefs, or her scandalous photo shoot? (31:40), and Boss Keith’s Top 5 least favorite things about hippie culture (41:37).

AJ’s “Badass Friday” Car of the Day: 1972 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455 SD

Car: Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455 SD

Year: 1972

What makes it special: The second generation Pontiac Firebird didn’t debut until February of 1970 due to a delay from tooling and engineering issues. This generation was only available in coupe form as the convertibles stopped with the 1969 model year, and would not return until the 1991 model year.

What made it famous: Pontiac’s 455 cu in V8 first became available for the 1971 model year in either the 325hp, L75 or the 335hp LS5 HO which was standard and the only Trans Am engine option. The HO also included Ram-Air IV. Of course, the famed “Flaming” Bird adorned the hood, and the Shaker Hood made the model famous.

Why I would want one: Anyone who is a car fan either has or wanted to own a Trans Am at some point in their life.

Fun fact: During a 1972 strike, both the Pontiac Firebird and F-Body Chevrolet Camaro were nearly dropped.

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Hardtop Coupe

Car: Plymouth Barracuda Hardtop Coupe

Year: 1967

What makes it special: Produced for model years 1967 to 1969, the second generation Plymouth Barracuda was still based on the Valiant model, but received a re-design separating it further from it. It was now available in a Fastback, Hardtop Coupe, and Convertible body style.

What made it famous: Now an A-Body, the second generation Barracuda was more stylish and had more sheet metal specifically for the Barracuda and not the Plymouth Valiant. For ’67, the 225 cu in “Slant-6” was still the base engine, but two and four-barrel versions of the 273 cu in V8 and a 280bhp, 383 cu in “B” Big-Block V8 was also available as an option with the “Formula S Package.”

Why I would want one: One of the best years for the early Barracudas. Love the style and all the body style choices available.

Fun fact: The front and rear bumpers on the 1967 Plymouth Barracuda were identical. They had the same license plate indent and mounting bracket.
