[quote=Anonymous]I think I set a world record with my first car. A 1963 Dodge Dart. It made it to 163,000 miles before I junked it in running condition. Drove it to junkyard. Was really banged up and rusty and convertible top old.

The amazing part is not a single mechanic visit in 163,000 miles. Not once. Not for an oil change, new tire anything. Car so easy to fix. Myself and prior owner changed own oil. Even mounted our own tires.

In the detailed receipts for 20 years the most expensive repair ever was $19.99dollars.

The $19.99dollar repair was an Earl Scheib paint job!! Yes while car paint job $19.99

I recall once a motor mount went, I bought one $7 dollars and used car Jack to lift engine and replaced.

The car even got hit at 55 miles an hour. I guess a slap tool to pull out dents, around 10 pounds of bondo and a can of spray paint and back on road again. Cost like $7 bucks.

Todays cars are Nancy boy cars. My old dart would have survived an atomic bomb.

The slant six 225 CI engine best engine ever built. When I junked car had not change oil in one year and still was full and clean.
