And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Mebbe it's just me- but I find that bizarre, and a waste of a great car. I just can't think why anyone would want to do such a thing, and it puzzles me!
great car my butt. over sized and way way too heavy. laughably mediocre suspension and handling. minimalist overworked and undersized brake system. cannot see out the rear quarters, not enough torque and horsepower in all of christendom could make this car quick. But, it does look good on you while driving it
I think I have asked this question before, but Eskyman, do you have any connection with Escanaba? Or Eskimos? Asking for a friend.
As regards the Charger, at least he did not use a 68, the ne plus ultra of Chargers. The 70 is in 3rd place among the coke-bottle models, with the 69 being the silver medalist. The Daytona, OK, it was a necessity for NASCAR, as was the Charger 500, with flush grille and flush backlight. The Torino Talledega (not a Charger, of course) was another low-production model for NASCAR advantage on the part of FoMoCo, as I believe it was known back in the day. Not sure if Mercury had a corresponding Cyclone model with the droppy nose (AKA Header Panel) for NASCAR aero.
Hey Bart- thanks for asking, but no I don't have any connection with either of those places. Alaska is on my bucket list- it's the only state in the Union that I have never been to visit, but one day I'll get there!
My handle stems from a big black & white tomcat that used to own me; he liked to sleep in my empty "Esky" which is what Aussies call a cooler. He was a cool cat, I liked him better than most people I've known, and absolutely fearless. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esky
