I'm assuming that this was a production of a company that specialized in making adaptations of regular production cars. Recently I have seen a modern Challenger convertible. It can be done....results vary! Thanks! :) Jack

@@coolrides Makes sense. Thanks, Jack

I also remember a third generation either Firebird or Camaro. Thanks! :) Jack

Thanks for the very informative article on Facel Vega! I wasn't aware of the array of engines that found themselves in these cars! A very extraordinary car indeed! Thanks! :) Jack

Really very cool! The interesting thing for me is that it's essentially the same car as my '64 Dart GT convertible, but it has been "modernized" to more closely compete. Refined, for sure! Thanks! :) Jack

This certainly was a big jump ahead of the original Barracuda! Very nice indeed! Thanks! :) Jack

The first and only one of these I have ever seen! Thanks! :) Jack

The car sure was a test of wills...Ford vs Ferrari! I guess once the goal had been accomplished, LeMans had been won, their was little interest at the time in producing a car that was so costly to make on an ongoing basis. Ford had proven its point! Thanks! :) Jack

Indeed! Henry the deuce would not be deterred in his quest for perfection! The engineers showed what could be done! Thanks! :) Jack

Hey, Audie! Yes, it sure is...and look what could be done in 1966! Thanks! :) Jack

Hey, Michael! So cool! Shows what can be done by a domestic manufacturer! Thanks! :) Jack

Hey, Asian Man! In the quest to be top dog in the luxury class, this Imperial LeBaron was a serious contender against the likes of the Lincoln Continental and the Cadillac Eldorado! The winner was a personal choice...all beauties! Thanks! :) Jack

Hey, guys! Full length tailights were the rage back then, and when they flashed sequentially for a turn, that was very futuristic! Thanks! :) Jack

Hey, Frank! I'm sure glad you spotted your car...I did this video back in 2013 at the Mopar show at Don Garlits' place near Ocala! What a beautiful car....I'm glad still own it! I'm still doing car videos today....a new one every day right now! Thanks! :) Jack

@coolrides . I subscribed to your Chanel. That's a very rare car. I had no idea when I bought in alnost 40 years ago. I have aquired all the original dealer files and a 3rd build sheet over the years. Maybe I will be able to meet you someday at a show. Great videos.

Hey, Frank! I'm sure glad you got to see your car on my channel! Thanks so much for subscribing! I learn a lot from my subscribers, and you sure know a lot about your car! Thanks for sharing it with our audience, and thanks for your subscription! :) Jack

We'll have to draw straws...I covet it too! :D Amazing car, amazing color, amazing interior! Thanks! :D Jack

Imagine...no dealer add ons, before the era of the add on sticker and nitrogen filled tires! :D How far we've fallen from grace in the marketing of performance cars! All from the time when we actually didn't dread going into a car showroom as much! Thanks! :) Jack

Indeed! Let's hope that everything performs as designed! Nothing like making things needlessly complicated. One wonders if the designers at headquarters ever actually worked on servicing a car! Thanks! :) Jack

Great point...subtle yet youthful! What a convertible needs! Thanks! :) Jack

Hey, Dee! It sure is nice....great choice of color too! Thanks! :) Jack

Hey, Audie! It really was a great time for Mercury! They had established their own identity, which was key for survival! Thanks! :) Jack

Hey, Michael! It really is a cool car...the yellow color and striping really set it off! Thanks! :) Jack

Hey, guys! Yes, those stripes and the color make it really stand out...and of course, the color! Hope you're staying safe regarding the hurricane! Thanks! :) Jack

Hey, Red! It sure is nice...the color fits it well! Thanks! :) Jack

Then I would say you have a very cool car! Congratulations! Thanks! :) Jack

Hey, Jeff! So true....as if the cops don't have Chargers themselves, they've got helicopters, radios, and spike strips, plus a knowledge of the roads that usually far exceeds the speeders. I watch these Police Chase Videos, too....and one lesson for sure...don't mess with the police. They mean business. When they stop you, stay stopped! Don't make a bad situation far worse, including a self inflicted serious injury/potential self inflicted death penalty! Thanks! :) Jack

Stratospheric, the price, and the car in my mind! Thanks! :) Jack

It sure is nice! Always, in the back of your mind, you have to keep reminding yourself that there is precious little crush room in the front! Thanks! :) Jack

Very desirable, with that new 5.0 engine! One that I would choose! Thanks! :) Jack

Hey, Dee! One of the coolest colors Mopar has ever offered! Thanks! :) Jack

It's the law here in Florida on both counts....getting out of the passing lane when you're causing a back up, and moving over, or dramatically slowing down when passing emergency, police, maintenance AND disabled vehicles, as I understand. Here's the law: www.flhsmv.gov/safety-center/driving-safety/move-over/ Thanks! :) Jack

Good!

Hey, Mike! Thanks for that information! That has to be a record for introduction of a new body style mid year! :) Jack

Hey, Michael! So true...both for the car and the color! Thanks! :) Jack

American drivers are inherently entitled and stupid. Can you imagine if we had an Autobahn where there is no speed limit?

Hey, Audie! I don't know of another more serious violation than sitting in the passing lane, even at the legal speed limit. Such drivers often fancy themselves as "enforcers" of the speed limit. Unfortunately, their behavior encourages lethal tailgating and has encouraged "road rage". That leads to deadly consequences and endangers everyone on the highway. Thanks! :) Jack

Such a gross generalization does injustice to all the safe American drivers out there. A minority certainly is guilty of being "entitled and stupid" as you might find in any population of drivers. Thanks! :) Jack

This series had the 1.7 liter four cylinder ohv engine. Thanks! :) Jack

Really very cool! A great tribute! Thanks! :) Jack

Yes, history should reflect the cars that were available at the time, not just the "stars"! Thanks! :) Jack

One of those things that you'd never know unless you go to such a huge and well sponsored Ford show. Too bad that show doesn't exist today! Way more horsepower than needed, and that will probably lead to the eventual death of performance cars. Thanks! :) Jack

Think how many Novas with this setup would have sold back in the day! Your Nova was well suited for its intended purpose, and it was possible to buy a new car back in the day! Today, with all the extras we didn't need or want, they are unaffordable for the masses. Thanks! :) Jack

Indeed! It is sad that one cannot buy a basic car anymore.

It's what happens when car companies ignore the needs of the public and put profit and shareholders in the prime position, in my opinion. Thanks! :) Jack

A sad state of affairs that goes far beyond just car companies these days.

So true! :) Jack

Hey, Audie! So true! Often these base models are overlooked but their great advantage is that they're less expensive to buy and serve as ideal platforms for adding features the original never offered, and make it just what the owner wants. Thanks! :) Jack
