Remember the oil embargo days - Drive 55 MPH and save - we were running out of oil by 2000 so much for the experts.
My Brother had a 74 Plymouth Polara with the police interceptor. You could run that thing dry on oil and not kill it!

He bought that after totaling a mercury cougar convertible. My other brother bought the engine from the insurance/salvage. It was a 429 cobra jet. He jammed it in a 68 ford falcon. The car had so much power and torque he would loose all the chrome moldings every time he jammed on the gas. Eventfully he twisted the frame.
