...intrepid entrepreneur, Joe Conforte, who runs the Mustang Ranch, a legalized bordello outside Reno, took advantage of the uproar to post a sign at his gates saying: "No more Iranian students will be permitted on these premises until the hostages...
...sick and tired of long and tedious conversations in the backseat of my 1965 Mustang during which I tried (usually in vain) to convince some sweet Delta plantation princess that it was irrational for two healthy, mature adults to deny themselves the God-given pleasures of sexual play. I figured that anybody intelligent enough to get into Harvard would not let something as puerile as religious convictions prevent her from living a normal adult life. Sure, I wrote the perfunctory essay about how I was going to use my Harvard education for the benefit of mankind, or, at least...
Many are also beginning to take the eminently practical step of buying fuel-efficient small cars. Detroit had expected small cars to account for about 47% of all sales of U.S.-made autos this year. The actual share is now 54%. Sales of the GM Chevette and Ford Mustang in March and April ran 77% to 79% ahead of last year. Imports, mostly small and gas thrifty, are taking more than 22% of all sales, a record share. At the same time, sales of gas guzzlers are off so sharply that totals for U.S.-made cars in April...
...changes to the car are essentially straightforward. Moody, an engineer, and Shetley, a car buff, made some aerodynamic changes in the body of a standard Capri, stripped the drive train, rear axle and motor and added a Pinto transmission, a Mustang rear end and a Perkins diesel engine. The key change was putting on a turbocharger. This reroutes hot exhaust gases (which would normally escape from the tail pipe) to a paddle-wheel turbine that compresses the engine's air-fuel mixture and gives the motor a sudden burst of power...
...biggest draw is price. In West Germany, a Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang cost about $10,400 each, compared with the sticker price of $9,700 for a VW Passat (which is called Dasher in the U.S.). The Chevy Caprice sells for about $14,000, or $1,000 less than the top-line Audi 100LS and $2,000 less than the BMW 525. Indeed, the dollar has declined so much that in some European countries, U.S. cars cost less than they did last year...
