    “For reference, the H2R is capable of pushing speeds well over 225, with some claims upwards of 250 mph, while cranking out almost 330 hp. The supercharger has to spin almost 10 times faster than the crank, so at full rev the impeller is spinning approximately 130,000 rpm and pumping over 50 gallons of compressed air into the motor every second. It was designed and developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries’ aerospace division.
    Impressive engineering, don’t you think?”

    A return to simpler times would be refreshing.”

    “This model was developed as a competition Enduro machine with the help of John Penton, who rode one to the AMA National Enduro Championship in 1969, it’s first year of production. Malcom Smith also earned a gold medal with one in the ISDT. Unlike the Cross and other HVA models, it did not have a fully floating rear brake. Riders preferred the Cross models for desert racing. For the Baja, Smith ran the 8-Speed in a Cross chassis.

    “The good old days. Sit down with a sales person and start checking the right boxes to buy the car that’s built just for you.”

    “Beautiful car, tremendous history. Made all the more valuable in my eyes by not being a static display. Too many “experienced” cars are doomed to a life in a cage, never again to be heard or seen performing the purpose they were built for…driving with spirit. Thanks, and good luck.”

    “Kudos for installing the flathead. Yes, the Chevy is a great engine, but they don’t have to be in everything, especially a Model A. Perfect hot rod. GLWTA!”

    “Just at the point when after all these years, and carefully observing thousands of listings, you begin to think you’re getting a handle on the collector car market, something like this comes along and puts you back in your place.”

    “@mhawkeONT When you get behind the perfectly placed seat and controls slung very low and see the iconic view out of the windshield you know you’re in something very special. You see it you feel it. Going through the gears it just sings, the shifter like a rifle bolt unlike any other. The pedals are place PERFECTLY for heal and toeing. The intake and exhaust climbs to insane levels particularly in 2nd gear, the balance and steering weight are just sublime. Brake pedal feel is just right.…”

    “Gorgeous, significant milestone car! Way ahead of its time. Wonderful restoration and great to see it here on BaT. We’re all excited to see what it will do, as well as the interest and conversations it will spark. If only it were in the U.S., dang!”

    “Driver & passenger sound like two kids in a candy store – can’t blame them.
    Awesome ride to take to a track on weekends & I’d do school drop off during the week.”

    “@68Vet
    Baja California and back to Sacramento in a slant six Dart? That is an absolute adventure and proof positive that these cars were built for exactly that kind of journey. No drama, no breakdowns, just mile after mile of honest reliable transportation through some pretty unforgiving terrain. That slant six was one of the toughest engines ever bolted into an American car and your story is a perfect reminder of that.
    Thank you for sharing that memory and for the kind words. That is…”

    “IMO….The best wagon ever produced for the money….If serviced and maintained properly, these are pretty much bullet proof….Mine is a black metallic 6 speed with atacama with 205K miles and it drives like it left the factory yesterday!”

    “Mr. Tardel should get AMT to issue a 1/25th scale plastic model of this car. Then I can have one and use up my old tube of Testors glue from 1963.”

    “As a young couple we had a 1964 122sw from Massachusetts was which perfect given my tip income as a student & bartender. We ran it until the 225,000 mile mark and sold it for more than we paid for it. This restoration corrects for all of my Volvos obsolescence or weaknesses; larger engine; better fuel delivery; rust remediation, nice interior and respectable paint job. This one is a keeper! Thanks for posting.”
