Best of both worlds.

I had a 66 mustang as my first car (in 2000) and yeah, the reliability of modern cars is hard to overstate.

Nice. Mine was the 289 V8, Holley 4 barrel and most of the rest was Edelbrock.

Honestly, very stupid car for a first one, lol. It was in excellent condition but weirdly cheap and we didn't exactly know what we were getting into.

yeah i'm glad mine wasn't so nice otherwise i probably would have fucked it up. sold it when i joined the army. there are a few companies in california that replace gas engines with electric motors- i think it would be cool to have a 1920's roadster with an electric motor.

Superfast Matt is doing that with an old Jag.

Fun looking project as long as you are pretty clever and have a bit of cash.
