    <br>The V-6 thus grew to become an undesirable stepchild at GM, so the rights to that motor had been offered to Kaiser-Jeep for an undisclosed sum. The tooling was shipped to Toledo, Ohio, the place the engine was produced as the “Dauntless V-6” until 1971. For electronics assembly services 1968, the Special and Skylark were redesigned (gaining about one hundred pounds), along with the same Chevrolet Chevelle, Olds F-85/Cutlass, and Pontiac Tempest/Le Mans.

The field included bikes, cars, Jeeps, dune buggies, specialty automobiles, and Broncos on the run from Tijuana to La Paz, which actually labored out to about 900 miles.<br>
