Part of me wants to be irresponsible, buy this and daily drive it...

Damn! I support the purchase of either one of those! And while I really like the '41 Chev, I have always wanted a powder blue '63 Falcon Futura ragtop. I went and looked at one with the wife a few years ago, but ultimately decided it was just not the one. But that one you've posted...man, just go for it.
Love it! That's a '67 Dodge Dart GT, which happens to be my favorite A-body of all time. My second ever daily driver was one of those, only blue. I also owned a '67 GT convertible with a 383 and 4-speed in it. Sadly, that meme is spot-on when it comes to cars.

Needs v8 front spindles and rear axle badly. Still a neat car!

I'd be swapping out that 216
I meant and should've said "the first engine in Formula 1/Grand Prix racing to be used as a stressed member of the car's chassis", not vehicles in general.
I suppose it's possible, stranger connections have occurred. While there's commonality in the existence of an engine in both, farm implements likely wouldn't be a port of call when looking to leverage competitive advantages and loopholes in a racing formula. That said, the idea was actually implemented in a production car, motorcycles as well as tractors long before it arrived in GP racing and the Lotus 49.
We'll probably never know but I can see it.
but it likely started in aircraft
Isn't that's the old "stove bolt" 6? If so, that engine was developed back in the '20s. I actually have one sitting in the woods, still attached to a '35 Chevy truck, or what's left of it.
I wish I knew what year this was taken but I do see a Jeep so my guess is 1955 +/-5 yrs.View attachment 524618
