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.

Little easier to see with the Performance Hood Treatment (RPO V21)

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

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.

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.

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.

Someone recreated a build that was done a looong time ago: put a Corvette fuel injected 327 in a Chevy II
