Actually sold it off about 10 years ago when we started building the car. The guy that bought it used it to replace a cracked (frozen water/coolant) block in a 50 Town and Country Hardtop. That was the real impetus to build the car as a street rod, we sold the running straight 8/Fluid drive and rear axle for more than we paid for the car. My dad was getting ready to retire, and wanted to build a car that he could tool down the interstate at 75 MPH with no worries, hence the OD Auto and disc brakes. In 20 K miles All we've had to replace is fluids (knock on wood)

I actually bought the car for him for Fathers day 16 Years ago, as He had at one time or another owned all the different Mopar engines except the straight 8, so I found him one. He drove it for ~ 5 years, and it ran well, just not up to the highway running.
