I bought one in 79. Was easy to work on lotsa room to get to the timing belt. No glamour all go and good on gas. My dad had a dealership in Miami Shores.<br /> I have the big ford 440 and had the big dodge 460 ( had it factory rebuilt. Pulled 4 cords of wet firewood up the bakc side of Tahoe. From a standing start in sand it wouild do a u turn with a loaded 16′ long 6′ high and wide enclosed trailer. The differential was low so all the power was applied in low gear. Hauled a lot up and down CA HWY 89 on black ice.</p> My typo 6 not 5. I bought one in 79. Was easy to work on lotsa room to get to the timing belt. No glamour all go and good on gas.

It’s ridiculously late where I am, but I’ve had an exciting week, and I’m still awake.

I’m sad about Paul Newman. He quietly set about putting a quarter of a billion dollars into making the world better. I hope his family’s OK.
