Re: New vs. building old one
Good points all around. Hard to compare old with new. When the ride is so differnt. My wife has a couple year old burb that still rides like new but leaks oil everywhere, i have a 59 shortbed that dosent leak a drop of anything, but will make you piss your pants in downtown traffic. My 73 travelall is 3" off the ground and cooler than sliced bread but i wouldnt drive it without my cell phone charged up. The 88 dualie sguare i just bought rides awesome and gets 9mpg running or not, but i dont care. The 78 shorty 2wd i just got on a trade ill probably sell cuz it has too many issues. And the maxima i drive 80 mi a day to work has 150k on it and will do 130 in the wide open desert. What the hell. Get a new one and build the old one. Then build the old one when you have the $$$. if its strictly a money comparison though, going old is the smart thing in my book. The trick with old cars is a good starting point. Full blown projects can be found on the cheap for a reason. Spend more $$$ up front and youll be father in the long run.
