It's not that you guys are getting older that keeps us in our rice rockets and away from classic power...
It's the fact that we can get Hondas to run 13's under $6,000.00 including the price of the car, whereas even finding a running 60's-70's Mopar with a decent body alone will bring us close to $6,000...
Factor in an economic recession, the price of gas being 4+ bucks a gallon, and even just a few hot parts for said Mopar bringing the price up a grand or so with each few pieces, and you see where I'm coming from.
Hondas are a dime a dozen, and parts are equally as cheap... It's easy (price-wise) to get 400hp out of a little Honda 1.6 DOHC I4... Though, the older Mopar engines are 1,000 times easier to work on...
Blue 68: I used to be in the same boat you were. Just sit back and enjoy the knowledge these old codgers can give you. They've got decades worth of experience and knowledge, and just them being on this board tells you that they'd like to share said knowledge with us punk kids.
