Crate 225?

Me-thinks /sixchall got a good deal. $900 for 125,000 mi = 0.7 c/mi. Of course you also must pay for gas ($2.60/gal)/(22 mpg) = 12 c/mi, in CA. At least as cheap as a current economy car and your car will grow in value. I saw mil-surplus slant sixe engines on ebay being sold in wooden crates a few years ago. I recall seeing many A-bodies painted USN grey in the 1960-70's. I they were the best cost & low-maintenance choice then. The State of CA used Mopars exclusively in the 1960's because they were the only ones that met emissions standards. Gov. Jerry Brown famously drove a 10 yr old Plymouth then (while dating Lynda Rondstat). I understand he walks to work today.
