You know, to each his (or her) own, but what I especially like about cars like the GTX and older cars (and trucks), is that they were so simple! Nothing complicated about them. Now my GTX doesn't get good gas mileage, but there is not a bunch of hoses, sensors, no computer, It's just plain and simple! The P.O. DID convert over to the electronic ignition and the later model alternator with the solid state sealed regulator, but that's it! The most complicated thing about it, is the Holley 4 barrel carb (well, it IS more complicated than the Carter AFB or AVS). I mean, you pop the hood and right off, you are looking right at the engine (it's not covered up with a bunch of hoses, wires and such).
I've not saying a thing abouit those who have the cars with all of the stuff under the hood either, as a matter of fact I've got the 85' Shelby Charger AND the 06' Grand Caravan and they are loaded with all of that stuff.
