Hey, my second car was one of those, a fifty 4-door fastback I gave $50 for. I can think of nothing to love about the thing. It weighed about the same as an armored car. Finally put the number seven rod through the side of the block. I was actually able to drive it to the junk yard that way. Because I drove it in they gave me $10 for it. That's not as good a deal as it sounds because I had put a bit of money and a lot of work into by then. A strange thing was it had no rust in an area where they used heavy salt, late fifties just disintegrated under those conditions. I think it was the thinner sheet metal they used.
