I met “Bronco Jack” Niederkorn in 2010 at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN) in Rosemont, Ill., where he was displaying his 1971 Stroppe Baja Bronco within the confines of the Donald E.

Jerry Schmitz never really worried about what kind of gas mileage he got when he was behind the wheel of his 1969 Camaro Z/28. In fact, it was that crummy fuel economy that helped him land his favorite car in the first place.
“Yeah, I knew about this car. It was my buddy’s car and I can remember riding to work in it,” recalls Schmitz, a resident of Fond du Lac, Wis. “He hated it because it got such bad gas mileage. He wanted to trade it in and I told him, ‘Well, I’ll buy it from you. Don’t trade it in.’ And I’ve had it ever since. That would have been 1974!”
