“I would rather dump 20 grand into an older classic and have a real car than buy a new piece of garbage.”

That’s what I’m doing, 57 Bel Air, 67 Camaro, 48 Chevy pickup. They will run forever, literally. Just %5,000 gets them good enough for Gubmint work. I’m only about $14,000 away from them all being tricked out.

Well done! Same here... I was born into and have been self employed all my life in the repair business. Not only have I built these older rigs for others all my life I have never bought a new car in my life either. I have always built classics and antiques drove them for awhile myself and then sold them at a profit. My next project waiting in line is a 57 Chevy Apache.

Jealous of that 48 wise friend... Bet the “Climate control” is just a heater “on or off” switch? Or does it actually have a multispeed blower motor? I can’t remember... lol :)
