Concerning the slant-6 e-bodys
I used to own one, but never drove it. My dad bought it as a parts car for $100. about 30 years ago and it sat in his backyard the whole time. If I recall when we picked it up it had a rod knock. It was a 73 with slapstick and bucket seats. Blue interior, blue body, 8 3/4 rear end. I mostly used it to pull small nuts and bolts off of for my 73 340 Challenger and my Darts.
About 8 years ago we literally gave it away. My parents lost their home and had to move out and I had no room at my place for it. I still had my 73 Challenger, 7o Challenger, and two 67 darts as well as all his old derelict chevies. Absolutely no place to put it. Then I discovered what our cars go for now a days and realized I gave away quite a bit of hardware. If I had it now I would leave it as a 225 but maybe with a turbo or eaton supercharger to help it keep up with traffic.
