Wife owned a ‘73 RX2. The 4 bbl carb was as big as a basketball.
It got 10 miles per gallon and ran like a small block Chevy.

Unless Maya Angelou is recognized as a mathematician, three-dimensional concepts will not make it past the curriculum committee....

I wasn't a big fan of the T-top, it always seemed to mess up the lines of any car (the same applies to the old 911 Targa - good idea, not so great execution). It's always nice to see American iron on that side of the Atlantic, though. There are quite a few fans of that hardware to be found in Europe.

This guy, for example, does some amazing metal fabrication and general hot-rodding. He frequently has pics from the car club gatherings in Sweden.
