Jim Wanger ruled Detroit with horsepower and passion
‘s Speed Week was a fine opportunity to hype the new 180-horse Power Pack for the small-block V8, but Wangers was told that “Chevrolet is not into racing.” He went to Daytona on his own dime and documented the success of the independent Chevy racers, but reaction from superiors continued to be underwhelming, with his bosses feeling Speed Week was some outlaw racing thing, something not unusual in an era where the car scene continued to be seen as full of undesirables.
1964 Pontiac GTO brought Pontiac’s efforts from the racetrack to the street, but it was the marketing that changed the rules. Wangers and Hurst’s Dave Landrith presented AMC with the idea for the SC/Rambler. For 1970, he joined with Hurst to develop the Rebel Machine.
