I have a affinity toward them, my best friend growing up had one given to him by his mother, she bought it new. 1962 valiant with a slant 6, 170 and my first car I bought for 50 dollars was a 63 belvedere 225 slant six. Both of us couldn't drive yet(13 or so) so we proceeded to fix his car up and use my other car for the 225, we ended up porting the head, new crane solid cam and offy intake with a 390 holley, we sanded and had a neighbor paint it red with gold in the trim. Later swapped a junkyard 8 3/4 391 gear. Drove that thing everywhere as young dudes. We spent lots of time learning on it, tuning etc. was way cool
