And around here the younger crowd (25 or younger) are so engaged into their cars, but it's all the new stuff. And I get it, their cars are cool, handle, very fast, and have the creature comforts. They all think my Dusters are "cool", but none are interested in learning about or owning one of these classics. Of course, there are always exceptions.

I too, try to get the younger kids involved, mainly my in-house 17 yr old. He thinks it's cool, but he's just not into it, and I understand that. He's not a real big car guy to begin with, but he likes the smaller, newer cars. I can't hold it against him.. when I was 6, I wasn't into my Pa restoring his '62 Galaxie 500 ragtop, or the stories he had about him building flathead '40 Fords. I loved my brother's '70 RT Charger... and I wanted one of those new '71 Challengers. I Wish I had his knowledge now of those Flatheads, lol.
I'm hoping to get my Cuda going next summer.. won't be pretty, and I want it to be as noisy,uncomfortable as possible, and you can feel the horsepower through the tin floor...and it pins you back in the seat. Maybe it'll change his mind.. maybe it won't. Whatever, I'll have fun. :)
