Daily driving an A-body

I bought my '65 S after sitting in a warehouse for 17 years. Guy drained the gas and put 5 gallons in, a battery and topped off the oil and brake fluid. I drove it 30 miles home on 5 cylinders, gave it 8 new plugs and a set of dual points, changed the oil and drove it for another year before it spun a rod bearing. Car was rock solid, fun to drive and parts were 20 bucks for just about anything (back in '92). I still got it, but my 96 Breeze gets better gas mileage, has a working A/C and is still watertight in the rain. If your commuting more than 20 miles a day, Sell the stratus and use the money to go through the old iron. All fluids a minimum and a Midas lifetime brake job (let them take the hit) belts and a battery, 300 bucks tops. You can fix almost anything in the older car with a 4 buck socket set and a torque wrench, no scanner required.
