@@rogerstlaurent8704 True. I didn't see a 289 emblem on the Mustang's fenders, making it even less likely that a 2,700 pound car could run a 4,000 lb. Mercury off the road like that.
1. He sure puts that Mustang into first gear a lot. 2. The big Merc could've run that Stang off the road effortlessly. 3. Dune buggies sure are flammable!
With these old cars, the automatic transmission sometimes would not kick down. Maybe due to being underpowered or or going down a hill. You can slam it into 1st or 2nd and get a kick down effect
I think people know about this movie mainly due to the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode more than anything. "Mitchell: Even his name says 'Is that a beer?' "
That dune buggy blowing up reminds me of when Peter and Meg chased this guy who drove a horse and buggy, and the buggy and the horse fell down. The buggy explodes. But the horse gets up, seemingly unhurt... and then exageratingly explodes like that dune buggy like as though he was full of tnt lol
My, what un-handsome fellows! And their mothers dress them funny too ...?!? But I do love that this era of Lincoln Towncar can grow back missing doors ... :-)
@@NorthStarBlue1 Crushed a mans skull with a rock. So yeah. Low-life for sure. I think the great editing here made it about as good as it could, or did ever get.
That Lincoln is the heaviest of all of them. Those old Lincolns weighed in at almost 6000 pounds. The Mustang was about half that. The Lincoln was also one of the longest and widest cars made at the time. The fuel economy on that Lincoln is another story. Power came from a 460 big block V8 engine with gobs of torque.
