as I am cutting up this 79 x(much to my dismay) I have noticed that the 800 pound steel bar that is supposed to run from the front wheels to the targa does not exist!!!
Jeremy Walton had stated in his book that the 73/74 x was the only car to withstand the mandatory 80 mph rollover that was mandated by the
"highway safety people" before the car even entered the country.
did they absorb the lax rules and build something akin to the pinto with the rear gas tank problem????
I am dismayed, sad and confused.
I do still LOVE my x's, but standing on my soapbox and berating how safe they are..... behooves me:sigh:
anybody know what might of happened between then and now??
I know the big three, gm, ford and Chrysler poo pooed the whole idea stating it could not be done and the x was the only one that passed.
ok... I will put the bong down...
jes kidding
