Hey, I used to have a 66 Dodge Polara 383 2bbl. Ran like a Boeing 707.

Probably sucked fuel like a 707 as well, eh? :doh:
I think that it was probably about 15MPG which was not bad for those days. But it really became a gas guzzler when the fuel line developed some rust and was kind of leaking gas.
It had an original metallic color of this rag > :cry: but the first owner decided that was not his taste so he had it painted "Earl Scheib" blue. White bench seats and an option of seat belts was on the window sticker. That was in 1966 though

:bust: :doh: :lol:
Both the Vitara's were "tin tops", not covertibles, the first one was white,steel wheels with surfing graphics down the side, the second was more mature, being dark metallic charcoal c/w alloy wheels ( Standard size, not the wideboy types :stifle: )
I had two wheelcovers, "Skiing Rhino", and the absolute classic "Humping Rhino"! :yahoo: :)P
