The straight 6 is back

[disabled modeler]

Id like to see some 60s/70s kits with Ford...Chevy...AMC straight 6cyl engines for an option .    A buddy of mine owns a early 70s Plymouth Gold Duster in 1 to 1 he drives it has a straight 6cyl with a turbo.

I bought a new Jeep CJ5 in '76 . It had the 258 straight 6 cyl. I remember It had the Chevrolet bowtie emblem cast on the side of the block. I thought that was strange at the time. It ran pretty good. I had bigger tires on it, used it here in Carolina on the beach fishing.

Considering that the 258 that should have been in there would have been an AMC motor, it shouldn't have been a Chevy engine.

I do remember at the time when I noticed it, I wanted to show it to my dad as he was a Ford guy.
