Can someone explain why all nice classic muscle cars/hot rods NEVER have A/C? What's with that? I want to drive in the summer too! Who wants a nice looking sweat box?

This is ha prevents me from buying one...

There is always a classic jeep.

I’ve about given up on getting the ac on my K5 Blazer working. It’ll probably come off.

All the gaskets in the heater control box of my ‘69 were rotted so I was unable to completely turn off the heat. This made driving in warm weather (yes, it can get warm in Washington!) a drag.

So I fitted a shut-off valve to the heater inlet pipe at the water pump. That took care of the worst of it until I was ready to tear the dash apart to rebuild the heater control box.

I’m used to no AC so I left it out.

In the mid 80's I owned a 1970 Plymouth 440 Cuda Convertible with factory-equipped air conditioning. It needed a total restoration, but unfortunately, I sold it for peanuts to help finance the restoration of my 1971 Dodge Charger SE equipped with a 383 Magnum and air conditioning.
