Don’t forget the shipping of so many old (and RARE) cars to China for conversion into Wal Mart products.
Side note A few years back I did a frame off on a 79 F250 and was shocked as to how limited the pickins had become since my last project around 2000. Here in AZ those trucks used to be like water in a lake. Perfect rust free bodies/running gear with sun rotted interiors. Now they are all but gone.
If Obama and crew really wanted to improve small business, particularly for used parts retailers, he would allow them to work through some sort of clearing house that connected car owners in Cuba with used parts retailers here in America.
I love that vintage
I have a ‘79 F150, Ol’ Green by name. She has about 85,000 miles on her. I run her a few miles a month year around, to keep her lubed and limber. In the winter she gets a snow plow on her to keep my 750 foot driveway clear. She is going to be running still when I am long gone.
