Oh and refrigerant. Ever weigh a few cans of the stuff?

Compressor, clutch, condenser, evaporator, pipes, hoses. 35 pounds?

Yes, because Freedom.

Total loss of yourself is even more important.

Which everyone in Europe would get.

Crowbarring air bags out and getting rid of the AC and sound system. Great ideas. Oh, cool, now I can get to 60 mph a quarter second faster.

Well, unless they are going racing or something, most Europeans actually would get it with air conditioning and everyone gets a sound system, so the difference wouldn't be nearly as much as 342 pounds in reality. And who exactly wants a car that lacks side air bags to weigh twenty pounds less? Just to greatly increase…

Ahem....the 67 was based on a whole new and wider intermediate Fairlane sized platform, not reworked slightly. I'm not trying to argue with anyone or be pedantic but this is one of the few things I know about! Right about the engines though. Since the 260/289 was much smaller and introduced "precision casting" also…

Yeah, makes sense because the whole intermediate based 67 was wider.

No, the original Ford small V8, 260 cubic inches at first I think, appeared first in the '63 (maybe '63 1/2) Falcon Sprints, so that was the original unimproved 1960 Falcon platform, in fact other than front clip, whole car. They may have had to make some bits different for the V8, but not many. Again, off the top of…

Wow amazing. Jeeze, you would think they could at least come up with a comfortable seat.

Holy crap.

Still a lot of bits and pieces!

336 spark plugs per plane? 336 valves? I was already thinking there must have been about a million parts to wear out and break and a few thousand needing adjusting. No wonder they were hoping for turboprops.

Fascinating, and somehow I hadn't come across these before. Meanwhile, once again a teeny little thing: "largest airliner of it's kind" means largest airliner of it is kind. See, you don't get to use the apostrophe with its because the contraction of it is already used it.

It's interesting even on an obviously very carefully prepared 1967 car you can easily see evidence of somewhat more casual assembly than anyone would do today in two places, on the left side from the front and from the rear where the trunk lid and fender meet.

I'm pretty sure the original 64-66 Mustang is based on the original 1960 Falcon platform, which was generally updated in 1964 but not new. I think the dashboard on the 64-66 is basically the same as a 64-65 Falcon but somewhat disguised. Falcons became shortened Fairlane intermediates when the Fairlane was also redone…

Or, perhaps a REALLY GOOD piece of writing.

Hmmm...no edit function. Anyway, I would suggest it's about turning the car off with the evaporator and ducts really cold in extremely high humidity conditions and then restarting in a few minutes, or something like that.

Not buying the low Freon (I know it's not really Freon now) theory. It just doesn't make sense unless there is more to it having to do with sensors or something. Besides, my AC had a teeny leak and it never got colder, just slowly less cold.
