Keep in mind Scotty, that’s an air-cooled VW Engine. They’re fairly reliable but famously maintenance-heavy.
And if maintenance is still an issue, keep in mind that a lot of the maintenance-heavy items can also be modernized to be less-so.
Points distributors can be replaced by modern coils or points-less distributors, carburetors can be replaced by aftermarket EFI throttle bodies like the Holley EFI system, suspension swap kits can make it handle like a more modern car, brakes can be swapped to disks fairly easily, engine swaps, gearbox swaps and a bunch of other things can be done to modernize an old car!
Personally, I’d rather spend $20K on an old car, update it and deal with the additional maintenance, rather than buy a new car for $20K and then watch half of it’s value disappear with depreciation as it ages!
Come to think of it, I’d reckon the old car would either hold it’s value or appreciate in value compared to the new car – even in spite of modifications – which would make you tons more money in the long run!
My 91 Taurus is 28 yrs old but starts and runs great. It lived in Tennessee it’s whole life. Now in Illinois the last few so the frame is still perfect
Is it already July in Texas? ?
S C O T T Y. That is the Coolest car I ever seen you work on I love old VW engines. Don't forget to adjust the brakes on it. The type 4 is rate in that shape.
This isn’t old car, it’s a collector car
But Scotty, you drive an old Toyo–nevermind.
Scotty I have a 2015 Camaro V6 with 41,000 miles. I have just done regular maintenance and it has run great. The dealership told me to change transmission fluid at 45,000 miles. Is that true??
Treat that 1965 VW to a tube lift Scotty, she'll Looove ya for it!!?
I have to say, this video was full of great information. You truly go the extra distance for your viewers.
Blessings to you and your family
Everyone have a great weekend. I love you.
