Looks a bit different doesn't it? And get this . . . it's got a 283 V8 in it - from the factory. The emblem on the front grille should give you a hint as to the car's origin

Built at the GM assembly plant in Belgium?

The new for 1966 Dodge Charger was to have a Turbine engine as an option. Chrysler wanted to sell 500 of them. Unfortunately the Turbine was VERY expensive to manufacture and would have added $10,000 to the price of the car even with orders totaling 500 units.

There are three known two-tone 1970 Challenger T/As. Two of them have been restored as a two-tone. This is the third one - should have a White painted roof (EW1).

Would look like this only the roof would be paint not vinyl

Here are the other 2 two-tone Challenger T/As:

It isn't. Remember the photo . . . it showed a pair of shears that cut.

Quote:

Commonly used in launch vehicles, tactical missiles, cargo and parachute deployment, and payload release mechanisms, a pyrotechnic device is a one-time use type of cutter. Activated by an electric signal, a small explosive charge within the device fires creating a high-speed, shearing effect that severs electrical circuits, opens or closes a valve, or releases and separates bolted connections and joints.

Criminals have no shortage of finding creative ways to smuggle drugs. The possibilities are endless, keeping law enforcement personnel on their toes. However, one shipment of illegal methamphetamine from Mexico went awry when they ended up at the wrong dealer. Instead of in the hands of drug dealers, the drugs landed at 13 Ford dealerships across eastern Canada, the result of a costly logistical mistake made by the smugglers. Oops.

According to the news release from Ontario Provincial Police, employees at four dealerships, tasked with inspecting the newly arrived vehicles, discovered non-spec spare tires in several of the Ford Fusion sedans. Upon closer inspection, the employees found the tires packed with packages of meth who then called the authorities. Police contacted Ford who provided shipping information for the vehicles.

Nine of 14 vehicles searched at the 13 Ford dealerships contained meth. Six vehicles on a second rail car from the same shipment in Mexico were also found to contain meth. The police were then able to stop a similar shipment of cars as it entered Canada. Nearly 400 pounds (180 kilograms) were discovered packed into the cars, which the police estimated had a street value of $4.5 million.

the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force began working on ways to counter the German aquatic magnetic mines. The RAF decided to detonate them from the air.

the German mines used dip needle detonators that worked “on the same principle as a compass,” to detect the passing disruption in the earth’s magnetic field caused by a metallic ship.

RAF engineers had Vickers equip a Wellington twin-engine long-range bomber with a 51-foot-diameter balsa wood ring that housed an aluminum coil.

Inside nestled a Ford flathead V-8 engine hooked up to a 35-kilowatt Mawdsley generator that in turn energized the aluminum coil to create a magnetic field that would trigger the dip needle detonators.

The aerial minesweeper had to fly at between 60 feet and 35 feet to trigger but avoid damage from the mines.

This 1967 Chevelle SS396 that Corvette Mike was offering sold For $45,250 which leads me to believe it wasn't a real L78.
