So just how good was the A-Body back in its day?

Back in the day if you seen a mail or news paper carrier around in the country (1964 to 1970) the low end Valiant a Dart was used more then
most any car from what I have seen myself :coffee2: and heard stories by many.. How many Valiants and Darts did you see on USAF bases and Army, Marine bases ? Allot :glasses7:
JMO.. These great cars was driven hard and in/on the worst conditions
and just kept going and parts would interchange..... how many starters do you think they made for a small block ford !! Allot! and at lest 3 or 4 different ones!! That was a pain!... How many rear axles have you seen walk out of a chevy rear end ? me in person on the HWY well over 4.
I would rather be stranded with a bad starter in a mopar then I would any other make... or even ignition... Just my thoughrs on this.
