We had one like the biggest one in the picture. And I was the remote.

Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

A rotary would be different. But the 1600cc VW motors could be made up to 2000cc with just bolt on parts. With a little crank clearance work which could be done at home. A little jug hole work which a machine shop had to do. A stroker crank and way oversized jugs/pistons could get you to 2800cc. Add oversized valves and porting/polishing/milling the heads with 1.5 roller rockers. Dual 2 barrel Webers. 200+ horse power was achievable.
I like how he kept it as stock looking as possible on the outside.
I've seen that one before. 200hp could be a handful. I can't imagine 517.
I'm not sure the Wendy's here had a salad bar. I'm a Wendy's fan and I don't remember them.
Rax was waaaayy better. I remember going to the one outside Roaring Springs on the way to Ritchie's in Martinsburg.

In the 70s and 80s OKC had a restaurant named Molly Murphy's. They had two claims to fame.
First was the servers dressed up. For instance all three Marx brothers were represented. Wonder Woman, Genie, etc. And everything was comical. You didn't ask where the restroom was because you got paraded around the place on the way.
The second was the salad bar. It was a stretched replica of a '59 Corvette. It had literally everything you could imagine putting on a salad.

Those paper things with the number 2 on them, and I have heard there were some before that with the number 1

Wow, a blast from the past! Loved Molly Murphy's. The food wasn't anything special, but the experience was!
Anyone remember Micronauts? Kind of a 70's thing right before Star Wars hit the screens.
Swedish band, they rock…With outfits like that, their music had better be electrifying!
But of course they’ve gotten older…
Rickenbacker brand flatwound bass strings. These are the strings that used to come with the 4001 bass in the 1970s. I used to buy these for my Ric and I still have a new set sealed in the box.
I like the "Do Not Use..." statement, yet they don't make them anymore. Or do they? According to Dr. Google, they do.
