They were good cars with the 232 slant 6 in them.

The running joke was that the motor would keep running even when the rest of the car fell apart. That slant 6 was one of the best motors ever made.

I had a Plymouth Duster with a 225 slant 6 in it that I installed myself (Well, me, a buddy, and copious amounts of Miller High Life.). Bought it for $50 and a spare engine for $75. Ran great until the transfer plate sheared off the torque converter and ground everything from the radiator to the front U-joint into shavings. I think I got back in salvage what I paid into it, but the summer of ‘82 was a blast. LOLOL

My Mom had one that if you came to a downhill stop and made a right hand turn it would stall out. Took the dealer a couple of months to figure a fix out.
