Loved my 67 valiant, slant six, nothing ever went wrong with it EVER. Mind you it smelled like gas and ran a bit dirty on cold days, had cranky windows, no power locks, lap belts, no air bags, drum brakes, no crumple zones or side impact beams etc.... cars have come a long way, and with more moving parts comes more to break. Just suck it up and fork it out to the man.
