GM sold it to British Leyland in '63 An All Aluminum V-8 at 215 cubic inches. Of course, BL redesigned it a bit. It was also in the Range Rovers of the time.

It's worth around GBP 200k here, or USD 360k. 4000 sq ft around here (carlsbad) is a half million dollar home.

If there are plans to extract Pu239 from >fuel rods, there won't BE any spent fuel rods for about 5 years. Leaving us plenty of time to get ready to blow the enrichment facilities all to hell.
