After I had my 74 Duster360 redone in 1986, I bought a "winter beater" - was a 74 4dr dart, 318 car. It was running on 7 cylinders - pulled valve cover - yup, had pushrod thru one rocker ! Grabbed a rocker out of parts bin, and the 318 was GOLD (135psi on all cylinders) !! . . . car had 4 different tires on it, changed to 4 good tires I got from neighbor and did brakes all round, added factory cruise control . . . was awesome car ! Was all into it for $475 !! LOL . . . oh the good ole days. Is there anything such as "winter beater" anymore ?? Certainly not under $1k ?? . . .
