10 Illegal Car Accessories From the 1970s

In the 1970s, you could walk into an auto parts store and legally buy car accessories that would be banned today for being dangerously unsafe. From steering wheel spinner knobs and sky-high jacker shocks to dashboard televisions and musical car horns, this was the Wild West era of car modification—where style and speed mattered more than safety.

This investigative documentary breaks down the most dangerous and illegal car accessories of the 1970s, why people loved them, how they actually worked, and what finally forced lawmakers to step in. Many of these mods looked incredible, showed up in movies and magazines, and were sold nationwide before injuries, accidents, and chaos made them impossible to ignore.

We explore banned 1970s car mods like the Brodie Knob, Blue Dot tail lights, early radar detectors, knock-off wheel spinners, unstable bumper jacks, glasspack mufflers, front-seat televisions, smoked headlight covers, musical horns, and extreme suspension lifts. Each one tells a story about a time when car culture pushed limits—and often paid the price.

This isn’t a nostalgic car show highlight reel. It’s an exposé on how dangerous vehicle accessories became so common, why they were outlawed, and how modern car safety laws were shaped by the mistakes of the past.

If you’re interested in classic cars, banned automotive modifications, car safety history, or the shocking things people used to drive with every day, this is a deep dive into the accessories that crossed the line.
