I love the 235 in my Delray. Simple, reliable and gets the best gas mileage of any old car I've owned. An overdrive trans is a must with these...
I agree. Jealous would be an understatement. I'm glad it fell into the hands of someone who realized what it is.
I love to see the more rough cars saved instead of being crushed, ground up and shipped to China to become a sh1tty toaster or some other junk....
My dad worked there when I was a kid. I remember taking the plant tours. It is a MASSIVE place with a ton of history. My dad had arms the size...

Urban Legends are cool. Thats all this thread is. Harmless conversation.
