Hagerty are running a nice story, on the ramp-to-ramp spiral jump, 50th anniversary. The stunt was developed as part of validating a detailed math model for car accident reconstruction--including early computer graphics. After touring for several years as part of an auto thrill show, the stunt was eventually featured in the James Bond movie, The Man With the Golden Gun. The article also details a couple of recent copies of this stunt.

Because nearly all of the 60's American cars were rear-wheel-drive, it wasn't hard to have tight turning angles on the front wheels. You might be thinking of the wide turning circle of some early front-wheel-drive (long wheelbase) cars--the constant velocity joints in the front half shafts (drive shafts) limited the front wheel steering angle quite severely. Newer designs of CV joint allow larger steering angles.
