Among GM’s performance cars of the 1960s, SD has long been associated with Super Duty Pontiacs, such as the Super Duty 421 of racing fame. The 396 cid engine introduced in the 1965 Chevelle was a Chevrolet engine, the first of the MK IV big blocks that were derived from the MK IIs 427 cid ‘Mystery Engine’ first seen at the Daytona 500 of 1963. The Beaumont was not a US market nameplate; it was introduced as a 1964-1965 variation of the Chevelle to become a unique GM muscle car with its own nameplate. Using the Chevelle body and Pontiac…

Archaeologists managed to survey the ancient Mayan city, which sank during a natural disaster. Such an expedition was organized just now, although the intentions were years ago. The fact is that the locals (and the city was located on the territory of modern Guatemala) consider this place sacred, and for a long time opposed the scientists to conduct their research. At the top of the volcano is a huge lake Atitlan. During the heyday of the Maya civilization, a large city was founded on the islands of this lake, with many residential buildings, temples and squares. But, presumably, the volcano…

Even in one of the burials they managed to find felt clothes . This was very helpful as it allowed them…
A well-known astrophysicist said that we will soon see UFOs. In an interview with The Guardian, infamous Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb said that perhaps in a few months we will see the first sufficiently detailed image that can be irrefutable evidence that UFOs are alien spacecraft. It is Avi Loeb who claims that the unusual interstellar object Oumuamua is a spacecraft that was created by extraterrestrial intelligence. In recent months and years, Loeb has attracted a lot of public attention with his confident claims that there are technologically advanced alien civilizations. Last year, he founded the Galileo Project, which aims…
Design by Ercole Spada, Zagato’s main man of the era, it possessed some earlier Zagato motifs, such as the windows into the roofline, which harkened back to the Panoramic Fiats of the early 1950s. About 32 Zagato-bodied 1.8-liter Iniezione Flavias were made; the rest were normally aspirated, two carburetor models.Only 626 of the Zagato-bodied models were built plus three prototypes. Ninety-eight were 1500s and the remaining 512 received the larger 1800 engine. Zagato worked primarily in aluminum, and the quest for saving weight carried over into the interior and even the paint. The paint was applied sparingly, in two or…
In 1957 Ferrari produced the 250 Granturismo Cabriolet bodied by Pinin Farina. Only 40 of these first-series soft-top Ferraris were built before being replaced with the updated Series II, launched at the Paris Auto Show in 1959. The current owner bought this second-series model in 2003 and started a long and detailed restoration that required the complete dismantling of nearly every part. The previous owner had not used the car for over 30 years and rust had taken hold. It completed an eight year restoration in 2012. The car is powered by a 240 horsepower, 2,953.2 cubic inch single-overhead-cam V12…

NASA’s Kepler Telescope discovered something truly amazing: a massive structure thought to have been built by an intelligent extraterrestrial culture. NASA’s Kepler Telescope discovered something truly amazing: a massive structure thought to have been built by an intelligent extraterrestrial culture. The massive structure is мคห-made and orbits a star 1500 light-years away from Earth. According to study and analyses, scientists believe that this enormous made building was built by an alien culture. Kepler detects only round planets, which is usual, but this т¡мe it identified something completely different, implying some form of artificiality. At first, scientists assumed it was due…
Very few movie or television aliens are friendly to humans. For every E.T. or ALF, there are dozens with predators, body snatchers, shape-shifters, Klingons and other space killers … or what a new study calls ‘Malicious Extraterrestrial Civilizations’. In real life alleged alien encounters, the visitors rarely kill (unless you’re a cow) – preferring to poke and probe both bodies and brains. Yet it’s foolish to assume that all extraterrestrial civilizations are benevolent – after all, they come from the same primordial soup as we violent humans. That is why so many space scientists and deep thinkers are concerned about…
