it is a beautiful car but i kinda prefer the cars to be original. the custom market is cool but a lot of cars are 'ruined' in the process imo.


To each thier own...

My biased opinion is the direct opposite. Most classics drive/ride like CRAP, and some down right scary at speed. Drum brakes, manual sloppy steering, heavy with anemic power. I think the perfect blend is classic styling with modern power and safety features... win/win IMO.

Agree 100%.

I get that from a collector standpoint, you value originality.

But for driving, old cars are crap. That's just straight-up fact.

I dont think anyone denies that the technology was crap compared to todays cars. When I get in our old car, im not expecting a smooth ride like a new Cadillac. Im also not going to be going into triple digit speeds.

I think its kind of cool to drive around the old technology on a Sunday afternoon.
