Yes. And another $700 to replace the ball joints. But yes.

Me, then one of my sons, then a grandson drove one of those for a total of about 275,000 miles...

My first car, in high school in 1968, was a used 1963 Dart with the Slant-6. It had 85,000 miles on it, and I drove it until 1980, when my income level allowed me to pay cash for a brand-new car. It had 405,000 miles on it by then and, while it definitely showed its age, it was still running. Great car.

Had one for 35 years, my wife drove it every day to work.

1972 Dodge Demon with the 225 slant 6 and Holly one barrel. My wife's parents bought it for her in October 1971 when she was 17 (I still have the original bill of sale). We sold it when she was 53, original engine with 175k on it. She's now 69 and still on her second car LOL.

Problem with those cars is they leaked something awful. They all rusted out. Ours was not left outside. Even then, at about 30 years we had to have some of the floor cut out and replaced because of rust.

Our daughter estimated that by keeping that car for 35 years we saved enough money to pay for a home.

Funny story. When the car was 2 years old it needed brakes, shocks, and muffler. She had all done at Midas. For the next 33 years I never pad a dime for brakes, shocks or mufflers. And they were done a number of times. Our local Midas took pride in suggesting when it was time for any of that. They thought it was cool.

The car had a HUGE trunk.
