Oh sweet! Thanks. I'll probably end up procrastinating with that.

This is the best video so far, deserves an embed.

pretty sure those are TOTAL S.A stickers.

Perhaps. As I stated in some other thread elsewhere, I pulled an allnighter last night. Brain is running on quarter capacity at best.

The El Camino is overrated. Give me a big block Ranchero.

 

[Shawnw]

The pictures I posted are of a 75 Ranchero with a 604, not an El Camino. And yes I agree with you that El Caminos are overrated.

Heh fail on may part. I will assert that the 70-71 Ranchers were so good as to make the others look like El Caminos.

I think that worked ...

The 70-71's were great looking cars/trucks, I am partial to the over the top hideousness of the late 77-79 models though.

No, I'm talking about the 1000bhp of "fail"rods on the right.

Ah. I see. Anyways, some insight to the C111s

I'm not sure which ones which, but here are the specs (in order of production)

C111 #1 - 3 rotor Wankel rotary mounted in the middle.
C111 #2 - 4 rotor Wankel rotary producing 370hp.
C111 #3 - 230hp turbo-diesel I5. Hit 200mph at Nardo while averaging 14.7mpg.
C111 #4 - 500hp turbo V8. Set a record speed of 250.95mph on the Nardo ring.
