Let's see... '57 VW would be a 1200cc, 36 horsepower engine, and this is absolutely the first time I have ever heard of one of those throwing a rod. You can run them out of oil and seize them up, but other than that it would usually be pretty hard to get one of them to quit.

That could be what happened. I didn't know very much about engines back then but that was what I was told. Maybe they didn't really know either.

You know, that '57 bug in average mechanical and cosmetic condition today would be worth more than your Nova! (Not as fast through the quarter mile, though...

Probably true. I have alot more in the Nova than what it is worth but it is only money and I can't take it with me and my cats don't really need it so what the hell :) It's my toy! (and hobby)
