Fun fact: the P76’s main claim to fame is that you can fit a 44 gallon drum in the trunk.

The P71 can probably fit two of them  :p

Note for Yanks: 44 real gallons is 55 freedom gallons.

Total sales disaster, but  in many ways a much better car than the Aussie “big 3” it was competing against

Ooh, NZ! Must be thrilling whipping something that wide like the P76 around those narrow country roads...

I suspect “whipping ” isn’t the normal operating mode for these.

Eight if you prepare them properly.

They’d want to be pretty small people. What’s the volume of a body after you put it through a blender? People more or less float so 1kg’s about 1 liter. So 4 110lb hookers (to pick a random example, detective) will about fill a drum. Which was no doubt very convenient for your 1970s Aussie serial killer.

Average is two cubic feet or about 57 liters.

The 4.4 litre version wasn’t so much of a whip but it was dreadfully quick. A mate and I had a moment in his P76 way back in the 80s when I told him you could get air leaving a bridge over the railway line between Strathfield and Burwood in Sydney...provided the traffic lights just a couple of car lengths away on the other side were green.

And one dark night, they were...

Old Mate got a bit enthusiastic and we landed with an emphatic thump in the middle of the intersection, leaving in our wake a  shower of sparks... no-one really enjoyed it!!

H ere’s a picture of this feature. It can fit there but can you somehow secure  it?
