True car people are becoming a thing of the past

Back then, and beyond a decade or so, most people wanted a cool car to drive NOT build. Day 2 stuff was the extent of most guys "working" on their rides. Be it a new car or just a "used" purchase. Add some cool mags and maybe under dash gauges, a tack and be cool! A real gear head was not common in rural America where I lived. But way more plentiful than today.

thats still alive and well look no further then the mustang (S197 Cars) comunity. lots of younger people in to them, tuning them, day twoing them,daily driving them and racing them. prices on them are going up now too.. the nice ones many young folks can't afford so they are getting clapped out ones and doing what they have to in order to get them back on the road and drive the hell out of them.... difference is what we used to do with a set of dist springs and carb jets they do with a hand held computer...
