Reply to "Why the heck won't you start?"

I stand corrected. Thanks Lane for catching that. It was the Mustang and the mid size Fairlane. We were involved in testing the Fairlane for potential use as a Patrol car for La County Sheriff Dept. We heard about the Pinto "Let um Burn" letter and did more research on the data collected and provided by NHTS and found that they discovered an issue with the tanks shearing open. Regardless, we disqualified the Fairlane because of this. Our issues were the unsafe rear end collision potential and that we kept the Officers shotgun mounted in the trunk at that time and had one incident where the Officer somehow discharged one through the floor of the car. That year (1966) we purchased full sized Chevy's with 396 V-8's. No A/C and no power brakes ! I thought they were dangerous !................Bruce
