@stuffelse: This is exactly why I love the Slant. There's so many impossible stories about how these little engines won't give up.

The Slant Six crowd. Doing more with less.

Apparently a Subaru when he goes back in time to pose for print ads.

@numanair: I haven't seen one, but I wouldn't be too surprised.

Or you can get the much better Johnny Lightning 1/64 scale version for the same price or less on eBay.

The injured man, when given opportunity to speak to the driver, implored, "Why did you turn?"

As a '64 Valiant owner, I almost have to vote nice price out of solidarity, but I gave this one a lot of thought. $8,500 is a bit steep for a '64 A-body, but if the body is solid, the top is mechanically sound, and the disc brake conversion is solid, I would say it's worth it over trying to get those three things done…
