1966 to 1973 Calvinator Model C 1.0

In 1964, Calvinator showcased its new upcoming Muscle Fleet, and the star of the show was the new Model C muscle car. People went mad over the new car and how sporty it looked. It featured coke body lines and doubled up headlights that all new sports cars were sporting at the time.

In 1965, the first Model C S rolled off the line with a 200+ BHP inline 6. It was capable of 140 mph. The car was originally built for IRA regulation, which at the time did not permit V8 engines citing environmentalism and safety, but this wasn't going well with many sports enthusiasts. In late 1965, out of nowhere, the new International Auto Racing Organization (IARO) announced its inaugural tournament in the spring of 1966. In response, Calvinator Rolled out an SS variant of the Model C with a bigger 444ci V8 Jogger Block. It was capable of 160 mph. This car also had manual locking rear diffs for drag racing and fatter rear tires than the S variant and a wider wheel base.

In mid 1966, the success at IARO-SCAR (Stock Car Auto Racing) only mid season prompted an increase in sales for Royal Motors, which then prompted Calvinator to create an exclusive team of engineers, under the name Calvinator Racing Machines, or CRM. They would take half built Model Cs, and put more powerful engines and better racing parts into the cars, to make them faster and more agile on the track. The result was in late 1966, the CRM Model C SR Mad Dog. The Mad Dog was a 426ci V8 Block cranking out over 480 BHP, and could bring the car over 160 mph at a faster acceleration. But this was just the beginning.

In early 1967, the Calvinator Engines dept revealed an engine they were working on. It was 389 ci, but had more power than ANYTHING they ever produced before. 540 BHP, and over 400 LBFT of Torque. This block was being tested at Royal for the Royal Miara Maelstrom, and proved successful with the car going 178 mph. But at CRM, the block, known as Warrior, was put into the Model C, and better wheels installed because the Mad Dog wheels kept warping under the torque, and called the Model C R Warrior. Its top speed, 180 mph, and the first Calvinator to reach 60 mph in less than 6 seconds (5.4 to be exact).

The release of the Warrior Block was celebrated by taking 10 of the cars to the main headquarters of their main competitor at the time, and having the drivers pull some loud burnouts and donuts. The commotion turned into an out of control block party while the employees were trying to work, and ended in several arrests, and the coining of the term "ROMO" (short for Royal Motors) which has spawned stuff like ROMO Life, and You need a ROMO to catch a ROMO. This also spawned the Horse Power wars with Killrob.

In 1968, The warrior block was used to power the new CRM Model C Lauraville after the Miara Super Aero failed. It brought the car to 200 mph, but only on special racing fuel (not on Premium Leaded). This was later replaced by the 504 ci V8 ThunderMax Block in 1969, which brought the car to over 220 mph on the racing fuel (204 on Premium Leaded). Both cars were built to be street legal, but some regulations in place that were absurd and removed in 1980 banned the cars from street use till then.

In 1972, the Warrior II block, WAAAAAYYYY Bigger than the original 389 V8 Warrior, was used to power the new 1973 CRM Model C R Warrior II. It achieved 190 mph, but was slightly slower in 0 to 60 than the original warrior.

In 1973, the Oil Crisis hit, and the Gasmean Government passed heavy emission standards, including a ban on Leaded Fuel. Calvinator was hit hard, and shut down for 3 years so they could retool their factories. In 1976, they released the Calvinator S1, a FWD Front Engine mounted Sedan that was for a short while, the successor to the Model C till 1979.
