That's the good news.
The bad news is that it has a Chrysler 440 V-8, a live
rear axle, rusted out floorpans, and brake fluid
running down the pedal onto the driver's feet. ;)

Seriously, that's great news. If I can ever find the
time 'twixt swapping fresh 1500 engines into my son's
car, I'll register my cars.
