You apparently are from the younger generation though. .. I threw a push rod in the 60 Chevy Convertible ... I took a hammer and beat it fairly straight on the asphalt and reinstalled it. I drove it another 10,000 miles with it like that and it never came apart again. Try that with a new Mustang.....
And what's all this garbage about a green planet and gas mileage and stuff? That's all a bunch of hooey and gobbledygook!!!! Why, back in our day no one cared about miles per gallon. You used gas, you bought gas, and you even got S&H Green Stamps too! That's what green meant back then.
Where was I? Oh yeah . . . back in those days cars were real cars, and men were real men, and women knew their place, and . . . oh . . . never mind!
Hey! Look at me when I'm talking to you!
Now go wash up for supper, while I smack some sense into that mother of yours.
Betty-Sue?!?!?! Where you hiding!?!?!?!?!

Modern cars make MORE power and get 3 x the mpg.
Apart from some freaky, specially prepared, magazine cars, all those old muscle cars ran 15's, 14's and 13's at best.
My truck make more power and is faster than plenty of those old cars.
Granted, you can't beat the looks but my old 69 Cougar was slow, noisy and had terrible brakes, steering and suspension.
