I bought a 1960 Valiant with a straight “Slant Six” with 50k miles for $450 when I was in college. Drove it through college and gave it to my little brother when I joined the Navy. I came back from the Navy in 1974 and the dealer called and wanted to buy the car back for $400. They wanted the engine. As far as I know, that engine is still running an irrigation pump somewhere in South Dakota.

I had a 62 Lancer push button slant 6 for several years. Ran as smooth as a sewing machine.
