I’d like to see some rare beaters that are driven.

Back before I got really old and retired I had several Dusters and a Dart Sport I drove daily to work, 318 and slants, as much as 120 mi per day, the least was 60.
Only time I was left on foot was one early morning the float stuck and another day I ran out of gas.
Never lost a ballast or ECM or bad points. Never a flat and always ran tires from the "used tire store"! Go figure!
