Electric drivetrains are more efficient. That's why hybrids get
better mileage even though they have a quarter-ton-plus more

motors.
I doubt that. I believe that Diesel/Electric trains allow a much smoother
transition of pow
Yup, thay alll had Chebby small blocks, I suspect turbo350s Tranny.
Great Avanti's had a Study V8 and what I can best describe as a wicked exhaust
note. There was one in our Mustang Club, about 1967. We autocrossed a lot.
Everyone stopped and paid attention when he made a pass.

Pre war Studes were amongst the best cars built. Tha Avanti had class that the
M/B crowd would drool for. With the Paxton Blower it would clean the clock on
any Benz, after it passes a Corvette.
I have a good frind who still has a Golden Hawk the is very stout fo a
BTDT with the fraudulent bookkeeper. They usually are 1st timewrs, cop a plea

I'm not sure, my old memory simply says you could get a Chebby PowerPac engine
and a 4 speed. I've seen them, cute and I'd imagine fun to drive.

My G'pa had a Studebaker, wonder if they were made by the same company. I do
lust after a 1965 Daytona Convertible w/327 & 4 speed. Not too many survived.

Donald, take a med.
Based on your rationalization we should all be able to buy a 15 year old

Diesel is now $3.09/gallon here, a $.40 premium. Makes is very hard to cost

On 'merican car, slop in the driver's door appears at about 100Kmi. ON my Benz,
at 300Kmi, the door was getting better. I understand that is because the hinge
pins are tapered so the wear to a better fit.

I stand corrected, when we crush tested samples we always referred to the load
as "tensiles", when you order it, then supplier will ask you what tensile you
