https://i.postimg.cc/5yWjBw1v/666.jpg The 427 in a full size Mercury was not a big seller at all. For the three years ('63 -'65) it was available, Mercury sold 154 427 powered cars. Ford on the other hand sold 8,319 427 powered full sized cars in the same time period. |

Mercury does have one great distinction that probably very few remember. In 1958, they created the very first engine to produce 400 HP - The Mercury Super Marauder 430ci with 3x2. |

https://i.postimg.cc/MHFc1bm8/screenshot-7339.png I don't know why restorers have a problem with the 1971 Challenger R/T. I could post at least a half a dozen cars . . . mostly hemi cars like this one that not only have the 1970 only R/T emblem on the fender, but to make matters worse, they don't position it properly. This one isn't even close! |

When you ordered a 1971 Challenger R/T this was the only R/T callout on the car. If you ordered the shaker hood, you lost it. No other R/T emblems or callouts. https://i.postimg.cc/fTRpL7PR/66666.jpg Little easier to see with the Performance Hood Treatment (RPO V21) https://i.postimg.cc/HLvjq9F8/yre.jpg For $28.50 you could add the stripes on a Challenger R/T and plain (No R/T callout) for the any Challenger. The "side"gills" came standard with the R/T https://i.postimg.cc/rmG3dfcK/ttt.jpg Part of the R/T package was the blacked out rear panel area. By 1971, Chrysler was in dire financial straits. The "bean counters" had taken over and were cutting costs any way they could. Saving a few dollars per car on badges/emblems would help the bottom line. |

A golfer in Florida hit what was akin to a trick shot when he stepped up to his golf ball and struck it just as an alligator passed in front of him. As the alligator sauntered in front of him, Lafferty cautiously addressed his ball and then hit a solidly struck shot over the alligator and toward the green. "Golfing in Florida is just different," Lafferty wrote on Instagram. |

https://i.postimg.cc/vBtzWBBv/AAGeIj9.jpg In "Monopoly Socialism," an official version of the game manufactured by the toy company Hasbro, players move around the board contributing to community projects "unless they can steal projects to get ahead," according to the product's description. When players pass go, they get a $50 "living wage" as opposed to the usual $200, and the tokens are all dated artifacts like a typewriter, a phonograph, a pocket watch, an old-fashioned telephone and an old-style TV set. |

Yes . . . the resemblance was intentional. That's Otto Kahn a VERY successful financier and businessman from the turn of the 20th century. https://i.postimg.cc/SQz8Fjq1/maxresdefault.jpg He built the 2nd largest private home in the USA: Oheka Castle (Otto Herman Kahn) in Huntington, Long Island. Originally it sat on 443 acres. It it prominently shown on the old TV show ROYAL PAINS. |
