LOL, happened to a friend of my Dad’s many yrs ago. He had a rusted out Plymouth Valiant with a 3 on the tree he was fixing to get of, the only thing worth salvaging on it was that virtually indestructible Slant 6. He parked it at the Green Acres Plaza on Long Island, at the time considered the car theft capital of the world. Someone broken in and hot wired it then realized he had no clue how to drive a stick. As he kept stalling it out one of Nassau County’s finest happaned to be patrolling the parking lot. BUSTED!!

There are not a lot of us old geezers left who ever had a vehicle with three on the tree. I had it on my 72 Chevy pickup. Good times.
“...virtually indestructible Slant 6...”
Greatest engine ever made... next to the Ford 289.
