That was awesome. I tried to kill my first car. A 2 door 76 Mercury Monarch. Pretty much the same results. In the end, both doors were tied shut, the power steering was gone, the pump completely froze up burning up the belt which also turned the fan. Even though it kept over heating, it kept running. I rolled it into a ditch, righted it, and continued. In the end I sold it to a friend who was making a 62 falcon hot rod for $100. He used the 9" rear that was in the car, transmission, and seats. He could not believe it would not die either. I think it is the car gods. When you want to kill one, you cannot. When you want it to last forever, you have about 6 months.
