And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My wife's first care was Bob, the Plymouth Valiant, although hers was a nice bright red. Slant six motors aren't pretty, but they never die. She traded it to a guy years ago for mowing a couple acres. He's probably still driving it.
My first car was a baby $hit green, '63 Valiant with a 225 slant six and three in the tree. Traded in about a year later on a red '64 1/2 Mustang coupe. Man I miss that car. The second one, that is...................
Slant sixes are damned near indestructible, as long as you don't overrev them. I had one in my Hesston 6400 swather and no matter how hot she would get, she always would start up to work the next time I mowed. Only used a quart of oil every day and 20 gallons of gas an hour
I always liked those ugly little cars, I thought about getting one and putting a nasty 340 with a 4 speed, make it sound stock and go find some victims......

I had one of those once...long time ago.
ReplyDelete...called it Prince, because it was one.
Oregon Plates?
ReplyDeleteYup, the other ones in the photos are the modern Oregon plates. Those are the retro ones they offer for a ridiculous price.
