I've been watching that build too. Show is contrived but fun to watch. They said the car was slow. I don't understand the gearing thing but probably choked with a bunch of emissions stuff as well.

I saw a fully restored version in traffic a while back. Man, its a nice e looking car. Even now. There really isn't a stand out American equivalent these days.

Re: VCRs. These days you can find anything on YouTube. I recall some kids in my neighborhood had HBO when it was a stand alone channel. They'd plan to wake up at 6 am to watch some movie since that's when it was playing. LOL.
