And I'm sure it didn't start off with a V6 as the article erroneously states. Do these young whipper-snappers who write these articles think BMW is the only manufacture to have ever made straight 6s?

Just imagine how shocked and amazed some of these folks would be about the existence of a domestic OHC straight six that predates even the Camaro in this article. As an encore, we could also introduce them to the straight eight.

I never noticed the Crusher was a '67, no wonder a few folks asked me if it was the same car but they are pretty different to me.

I had a 79 Nova with a straight 6, and bought a 350 to swap in.
Drained all the oil and ran back and forth to work for a week....still purred like a kitten.
Nite we pulled it out I dogged the **** out of it...never killed it.
