Who cares!??
my 64 was kind of a basket case when i got it (still is). slant six, push botton...gone now. my 64 will be modified big time. heres my thinking though. im bringing my car uptodate. new suspension, fuel injection ect. im not starting with a super nice car though either. that said, my car is what i call a real survivor. survivor has many meanings, but for me my car will "survive" the ages to come. what if the combustion engine finally gets over taken by an electric motor or some other type of engine, say 20-30 years from now, and gasonline goes way up, so that eventually our cars engines are really hard to get gas or parts for. will you garage your beloved car? not me. if engine parts become super rare or maybe something crazy like gas is super high because its not in use anymore (like lead gas is now), ill look into converting my 64 over to whats powering the new cars. thats only if i can no longer supply gas or parts for my combustion engine. my car will "survive" by being able to evolve with change. my passion for my car is not just for the rumble of a v8 under the hood, (although i do love that sound), no my love is for the open road, the top down, and the wind in my hair.
all orginal cars are nice, but will eventually become museum pieces, behind ropes. not my lil 64, i want her to come along with me. i didnt get to share the last 40 years with her, but i hope to keep her uptodate and running on the road where she should be. how much do you like your car? will you bring it into the future with you? or will you leave it behind to the past? if your taking her along, best get a few extra fenders,bumpers, hoods and trunk lids, just in case you see a fender bender along the way.
sorry to get all emotional, but i really love my 64 :love4: and i dont want to leave her behind.
