    If you like old cars, you need to come to Albuquerque. I swear this is "keep that old piece of shit alive" heaven. I've seen more 60s-70s cars here than I did in the actual 60s-70s. This dude down the street has a 32 Ford coupe. I love that car. I'd paint it fire engine red and just cruise up and down the street.

    Tf I love the old cars, but I believe that model every collector in the world has one, I don't see ya making a killing on it because of that, now with that said would it be great to cruise in that old boat, sure enough, what a nice ride, but of course you had better make sure to not get off the beaten path to far, considering that car probably gets like 50 MPT ( miles per tankful )

    A 32 Ford Coupe actually gets good mileage. That straight six is STILL used in Fords And it's tougher than a bunch of 8-bangers.

    My son will be getting his learner's permit next year. It's meant for him to learn how to drive. I once owned a 1970 DeVille. The Cadillac 472 CID engine gets 12 MPG, not that huge of an adjustment my modern FJ Cruiser gets at 17 MPG. I think the 1970s cars are OK. I have had several 1950s vehicles and they are painfully unreliable. I'm leery of any vehicle designed for leaded fuel. I believe 1973 was the first year for unleaded fuel.

    A Little Deuce Coupe has a five figure price tag. The one below is $97,000 !

    Late 70s and early 80s cars all looked the same and they sucked.

    My dream car is a 1970 Dodge Challenger. The 32 Ford is second.
