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.
You'd get about 5 miles per gallon normal driving, and 2 gallons per mile at full throttle, but what a ride!!!
Gas tank was listed as 18 gallons, so range anxiety does exist. I know, for I had a similar model Dodge. Had to fill up every 100 miles, more often if I was enjoying myself. Also, new rear tires every 10k miles.
My very first car, back in 1977. A 1967 with a 273ci V8. 110k miles when i got it, after digging it out of 2 ft of snow. That engine was frugal on gas, and at the time $3 of gas woukd get me far.
Snapped the torsion bar on a wild turn later that year. Gave it away bc no one would touch it to repair. Moved to an Old '98. That, was NOT frugal on gas. With a 455 ci I'd watch the gas gauge move as I pulled.away...
As with everything, wish i knew then what I know today
BIG ol' scoop - could suck a whole canada goose into it

It comes with its own gas pump because it needs it! Looks like a 'tribute' to the rare, drag strip only 1968 Hemi Barracuda.
