It was a slant six, plain jane Dart.........no great loss. Plus, they were not planning on cutting floor out of it at first. Starting with a nicer car is ALWAYS money ahead in the end than starting with a rust bucket that needs every panel. If the floors are rusted out, that usually means there is plenty of other rust as well
