I think its funny how many people on this thread say they are "anti-new tech", while typing that into their computer........
That said, I'd probably trade my rusty old '71 for a new one straight across, but only because it would be financially stupid not to. but, since that will never happen, I will keep driving it, and as to what others have said about old vehicles not being reliable enough to drive across country, I wouldn't hesitate to hop in mine and drive it anywhere, of course it does have a newer engine and trans, so that helps.
