There was a hurricane a couple of years ago and The Cherry Bomb was flooded little less then halfway up the transmission hump, the engine filled with water, floor was soaked. Three oil changes and a new starter, she was back the road, all the other cars in the parking lot were towed away to junkyards, computers all fried not worth fixing, and other then the power driver's seat no longer working the only other issue turned out to be the differential, it over filled with water which destroyed all the seals, so I had to get a replacement at a junkyard and they installed it $295 total, and whatever the starter and changes cost, so under $500. Those other modern cars would've easily cost $10,000-$15,000. (if not more) to get back on the road infact one car was only two weeks old! The garage was saying how great these old cast iron blocks are, they also had an '84 Fleetwood Brougham, and same year Riviera that had also been flooded but worth fixing for the same reason: cast iron engine blocks, aluminum blocks would've immediately cracked
