that's me driving my (hand control equipped) 2+2 on a 300-mile round trip a few weeks ago. the 400/400 knocked out 17 mpg, compared to the other guy's little hot rods, both of which run SBFs and weigh about 2000 lbs. they got about 14 mpg each.

it has a 3.42 posi, 235/75/15 tires on the rear, and it runs about 2500 rpm at 65 mph.

One Word: Morokide. Kudos to DuPont or whoever made it. It looks like Pointe Reyes.

I found some faint printing on the back side of some 64 Morrokide vinyl. Naugahyde. I'm not sure where in the world that picture was taken.
