Let's bring the pundits out! (your suggestions sought)

everyone has their receipe. main thing is having a car that everything is in good working condition, be it replaced with quality new parts or rebuilt originals. case in point. example: I had a 71 demon 10 yrs back with completely r ebuilt slant, new everything, radiator, carb, choke, brakes, exhaust, frontend,rebuilt trans, it would start with 2 pumps of the pedal in Missouri at 5 below and run like new....... ( it was NEW)..... and NO FI. i am old and old school...OK so it still had the original PS ( I hate old mopar PS)...
discs are great IF you have to stop in a hurry. seats. my tastes send me to the high back buckets of the early seventies. MY TASTES. ha
drive in winter in Detroit? by a car that came undercoad, and do it all AGAIN!

I picked up a rust free pretty much survivor 79 Volare slant car, runs and drives perfect.....you would be surprised what a pleasure it is and how affordable it was. I just had to get some exhaust replaced and those gosh awful 20 inch wheels and bandage tires!!! happy hunting!
