Indianapolis Dodge dealer Eldon Palmer - famous because he crashed the 71 Challenger convertible into a grandstand full of photographers.

 


Yes, sad story. Last I read, he still wasn't talking about it, and I don't blame him a bit.

Levis interior

 


Interior is correct, but I don't have Levi's as the name. How about a different name? Maybe I am wrong on this one, but my answer is not Levi's.

I'm looking at a 1970 Rapid Transit System sales brochure and it lists for the Hemi "Extra heavy duty Dana built 9 3/4" dia. ring gear. Granted this is a Plymouth brochure.

Thunderbird 352 was hydraulic lifter, 360 Special was solid lifter, may also be known as the Police Interceptor Special.

Yes, it is unfortunate, he had an orange safety cone placed on the track indicating where he needed to start slowing down.  Some dufus unknown to him went and moved it!!!

Yes, I posted that answer 13 hours and 47 minutes ago. Can I suggest you post one or two at a time then check back so we don't get too far ahead of ourselves? wink I think you were too excited to hit 4000 post and rolled off about 50 questions at one time!
