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.
Big steering wheel could also mean it had power steering. I also see a rally pak gauge cluster too. Looks like it has aftermarket ac as well.
Swap 289 for a 347 stroker and a 5 speed manual.... shoot, make it a 6 speed manual, sub frame connectors, shelby drop and 4 wheel disc brakes and go have fun.
Only problem with their gas tank was that it's top was the floor of the trunk. Throw it something heavy (like a Muncie 4spd trans), and you could end up with gas fumes inside the car.
I told my kids after I taught them to drive a manual transmission that they can do something that only 1% of their peers could do. Good carjacking insurance, too, driving a manual.
Brewvet, never saw one of those torched. The Pinto was supposed to be a problem, though. A sister had a teacher die in a Pinto fire a minute after dropping her off at home.
big steering wheel, no power steering. Count me in!

Guaranteed to get a gearheads attention.
Change the red to black, and the white to dark green and I was there!
DeleteYes, rally pack, horsey seats, and factory air.
I am afraid that most Americans could not drive it because it has a standard transmission.

ReplyDeleteFirst car with a seatbelt, thanks Lee IaCoca.
ReplyDeleteFirst American car with a seatbelt was a 49 Nash. The first car with 3-point seatbelt was a 59 Volvo PV544.
DeleteIn the summer of '63 we had a brand new Oldsmobile with eat belts.
DeleteHope they reinforced the gas tank.

DeleteYou could also end up with a passenger compartment full of burning gasoline if you get rear ended.
