74 Swinger - daily driver?

The reliability of the Slant Six is lengendary- possibly the greatest economy engine ever produced. The body and engine look very clean is this example; I'd say it's a buy. Remember that you are buying a 40 year old classic car; for the same money you could buy a mid 90's Buick Regal or something and have a much more modern car. If you ENJOY working on a nice old car, buy it! The Darts and Valiants are bulletproof, maybe I'm biased but I'd say much more so than the '77 Nova. It will probably need some brake work from sitting.
