It was kinda obvious. You can see the ROBOT in the back. But i knew it was Lost In Space before i saw the robot.
I didn't recognize the thing at all. But the robot? All day long!

And we won't even mention the AMC guys...
No reason to muddy the waters with those guys.
Who remembers these? Owner is doing a 5.9 Magnum V-8 swap into it with the factory FI.

I absolutely remember the Volare-based Road Runners. No comparison to the original, but what in life ever is? Neat cars, if you can find one. That one is nice, though I don't care for his placing the '72 A-body hood scoop on it. Personal tastes, I guess.
Several post mention Studebaker witch reminds me that they are so cheep that they never made a car with hydraulic lifters.

Not mine... I wish
"Performance-minded".
On a side note, for anyone interested, Studebaker/Packard V8s (259 & 289 ci) were so over built the factory books suggest "taking caution when overboring beyond .100 inch". A SBC would be in the water by then. I remember a local guy claiming he bored his engines .125 over. Guys running forced induction will routinely push 15 psi on a stock engine. I've heard and read that Studebaker overbuilt these engines anticipating the upcoming cubic-inch/horsepower wars. Obviously they didn't live long enough to do much battle.

I've read the same things about the Studebaker/Packard engines being overbuilt. The same can be said for the AMC/Rambler 287/327 V8 engines. They will safely take a .125" overbore, though that will require custom made pistons. I'm only sharing this because I know that @BlueC and @Zorba are secretly AMC fans, and are jonesing for more information on them.

I had a neighbor years back who was into AMC in a big way. Learned what I know about them from him.
You didn't learn much because there is not much to learn.
