[AT] The Earth is shifting

[Kevin]

I was told that it was a 235
Farmer
  I wouldn have any use for that engine,
When you said 55 year I thought it might have a collectable engine under the 
hood.
I missed a good one 2 days ago 1965 date code 426 ci max wedge complete 
engine $500.  That just goes to show, ya cant win them all.
