And speaking of Tom McIntyre, owner of the '68 Penske Camaro and a number of other significant muscle cars, he was the guy who, in the late 1960s, invented the circular hood/bonnet lock in which you press down, and turn the lock, and so doing away with the pins used previously on high performance road cars. He patented the idea, it was picked up by Ford, and used on Shelby and other high-end performance Mustangs, as well as GT and GTHO Falcons etc.

I don't think he was even 20 years old at the time.
