Dying breed

I’m 42

I fell in love with muscle cars in high school. In The nineties I had a ton of them when they were rusty and cheap. Then they got expensive.
My other love, jeeps, were still cheap. Now even wranglers (yj and tj’s)are expensive.
My friends and I got the 69 dart I’m working on for a lemons rally. I’m actually surprised how inexpensive a bodies are compared to other makes. My buddies love cars, but just don’t know much about turning wrenches or don’t have the time.
I think the buy in is expensive compared to newer cars, and plugging In a scan tool and swapping sensors is easier for them than learning carbs and points.
