They went out of business because their engineering was antiquated. Had a '64 Rambler Classic in near perfect condition. Got it in the mid 70s for $100. You almost couldn't give them away. Had a torque tube drive line that would jump into neutral every time I went over a RR crossing. Had a V8 that had almost as much power as a 4 cylinder. Had a '70 Hornet.
