Makes me sad, but I do understand your reasoning. We so get used to modern day cars, makes classic cars feel dangerous, and sadly, they kind of are. Would you and your wife like another classic car? If so, what? Obviously something with power brakes, steering, etc. and down here in Houston(Cypress), I put AC in everything!

Just for fun, had you priced out installing power steering/brakes, etc. I always thought a set of mags might make your car Pop even more;)

Yes, we are considering another classic. Actually, already have a few...lol.

We have a 1948 international KB2 we are building for my wife. She wants to drive it daily so we are putting in a 5.3 LS with a 4L60E trans with a Ford Explorer 8.8 rear with posi and disc brakes. Also installing a IFS with power steering and brakes. We have a floor shift Lokar shifter that looks like the original floor shift so it keeps it's original look with all of the modern driveability/reliability.

I have a 1951 International 1/2 ton that I haven't decided on how I'm going yet (original or modern). We don't mind original for something driven once in a while, but we want one we can use comfortably every day in the summer. This one will probably go original for now as we will have my wagon and my wife's truck for daily enjoyment.

I also just purchased a 1966 Impala wagon. It came with no drivetrain but is an original power steering/brake car. Plan is to install a "massaged" 5.3LS and 4L60E trans. Rest will be pretty much original besides adding vintage air. We intend to take this across Canada and into the States. I've always had a soft spot for the big wagons of this era.

I did look into the power steering/brakes and upgrading the rear but as anyone knows on the early A's it adds up rear quick. I figured it was time to call it and let it go to someone else to enjoy.
