Personally, I think there has been a trade-off between old and new cars. My favorites are from the late 60's, (very early 70's). The body design defined them. Mustang 429; Camaro 427 (Yenko); Roadrunner; et.al. These were cars to reckon with, and you knew it. Plus, they were much easier to work on. Today's cars require the ASE requirement. They are safer; maybe faster, but you cannot put your own personal touch (as it was). It was also easier to get parts for the older vehicles. I've rebuilt a '66 Mustang and a '69 Firebird - much easier than my current project ('84 300z).
