texti tiba:
I became aware of ******** in the late '60's. I was a teenager, and what I wanted more than anything else, was a Meyers Manx dune buggy. I devoured any literature I could find on the Manx and cars like it. It one of the early issues of Dune Buggies and Hot VWs Magazine, I saw an article on a car called ********, made by ********. The world would never be the same. Here was a tubular space frame chassis, carrying the worlds best motor ( a 427 Chevy ), mated to a 5 speed ZF Transaxle, and wrapped with the most beautiful lightweight body since God made Eve. It was then that I discovered the meaning of the word "lust". The car had Hurst-Airheart disc brakes at all four corners, augmented by a drag chute "for primary braking at speed in excess of 140 M.P.H." (it was speculated that the car could go perhaps 200 M.P.H., got a ticket in Nevada for 180 M.P.H.) There was only one thing wrong with the car, it cost $12,500! That doesn't sound like that much now, but to a teenage boy in the sixties, it might as well have been a million dollars. |
