        I guess we're supposed to believe that they rode out there with tanks strapped to their backs, or there was some killer storage on those doo's.

        One interesting thing though; it took 18hp to yield 30 mph in 1968, yet 215hp to yield 69 mph, more than 30 years later.

                      remember the marketing department that put out those photos were the same type of people who told Tucker that putting seat belts in cars made them look unsafe.
