RFunny, last time I really went car shopping was for a 65-72 Mopar, one guy I talked to about buying and DDing his was like “are you sure you want to put that many miles on a classic car??”
i guess the answer is yes, I would have. Better to be seen once out in the wild by someone who would appreciate it than hide in a garage forever. Except now that I live in salty Michigan that would just be irresponsible :P
Oldest car I’ve had my hand in was an 86 RX-7 — the motor was from a mid 60s Biscayne though, and that’s the fun part! TINY little SBC
Out of the running by a mile— current DD is either an 03 E350 (Ford, not the cool ones) or Z4. Years ago I determined that I should aim forward and never buy older than current car (except for aforementioned muscle car option, of course) but I don’t buy cars too often or spend much on them so I’m still driving 16 year old cars
