The Javelin was restyled in 1971 to incorporate various elements that had been desired modifications to the earlier Javelins for racing in the Trans-Am circuits. A roof spoiler became integral. The fender bulges racers made to accept wide racing tires was adapted, but the way AMC stylists arched the fenders over the wheelwells begged for criticism from the media; "... like the Corvette, but less graceful..." A wide range of engines and transmissions were offered from an economical 232 inline six to the potent 4bbl 401 AMC V8, that featured h ...

South Africa tried to tour Australia in 1971, even going as far as suggesting that two black players, Dik Abed and Owen Williams are part of the team. Abed and Williams rejected the proposal. Also in 1971 Englishman Colin Cowdrey wanted to take a racially-mixed team to South Africa and play separate black and white national teams. But the coloured Board rejected the idea and persuaded Basil D'Oliveira to distance himself from it. Frank Waring, the Minister of Sport, declared that if cricketers from club level upwards declared that they were ...

The second generation of 1971-1978 is mainly noted for the early use of two safety features that are now universal standards. This bodystyle featured the first standard installation of high-mounted auxiliary brake lights, although a somewhat similar feature had appeared briefly as an option on the Ford Thunderbirdin the late 1960s. Also, for 1974 through 1976 models, the Toronado was part of GM's first experimen ...

Roger Penske bought a used 512 M chassis that was totally dismantled and rebuilt. The car was specially tuned for long races receiving many unique features, among them were a large rear wing and an aviation-inspired quick refueling system. The engine was tuned by CanAm V8 specialist Traco and probably able to deliver more than 600 hp (450 kW). As of today it's impossible to know to what extend Penske's initiative was backed by Ferrari works. This 512 M, painted in a blue and yellow livery, was sponsored by Sunoco and the Californian Ferrari ...

Since the 1971 Coronet was only available in sedan and station wagon versions, the Super Bee model was moved to the Charger platform. Since the Charger already had an R/T muscle car version, the Super Bee was slotted in as the low-priced entry in the line at US$3,271. 4,144 were produced, plus 22 with the Hemi engine. 1971 was the first and only year the a small block engine became available in the Super Bee.

A new intergrated bumper/grille and larger single headlights replacing the quad lights of 1969 to 1970 models marked the introduction of the 1971 Grand Prix along with a new slanted boattail-style rear with taillights built into the bumper. Interior revisions amounted to new trim patterns for cloth and vinyl upholstery patterns for both the bench and bucket seats, but the leather interior option was discontinued. Engine choices included the standard 400 in³ V8 with four-barrel carburetor and dual exhausts, rated at 300 hp; and the op ...

The 1971 model year saw only modest styling changes, including slimmer, vertical tail lights. Inside, the SS model got new "European symbol knobs," and a four-spoke steering wheel became optional. Mechanically, it was largely unchanged, although the Turbofire 400 (two-barrel) was dropped. Other engines had compression ratio lowered to allow the use of regular leaded, low-lead, or unleaded gasoline, per a GM corporate edict. Engine ratings fell to 245 hp for the base 350 cu. in. (5.7 L) two-barrel, 270 hp for the 350-4V, and 300 hp for the Turbojet 400. The SS 454 engine was actu ...

From 22 February to 22 March, the nuclear attack submarine operated beneath the northern ice cap, conducting extensive tests to provide data for her weapons systems as well as carrying out scientific experiments concerning the movement, composition, and geological history of the cap itself.

1971 saw the Golden Anniversary for the Lincoln marque, and the third and final year of Mark III production. Sales were better than ever, at 27,091, very good for a car that was not a new face in town. Production was almost equal to the Eldorado's this year, a harbinger of the way things would be going for Lincoln and Cadillac in this new decade. Little changed, again; tinted glass became standard, as did automatic climate-controlled air conditioning and SureTrak anti-lock brakes. 1972 would see a new, even larger car, the Mark IV, repla ...

Willard is a 1971 horror film starring Bruce Davison and Ernest Borgnine, directed by Daniel Mann. The movie is based on the novel Ratman's Notebooks by Gilbert Ralston (as Stephen Gilbert), and was nominated for an Edgar Award for best picture. The supporting cast included one of Elsa Lanchester's last performances, and one of Sondra Locke's first. It depicts the social misfit Willard's inexplicable affinity for rats.
