Consider the cost of towing it to Orlando if (when) it breaks down... I concur....if YOU can't/don't have the experience to wrench on your classic yourself, I'd look for another hobby... JMHO... Your mileage may vary... |

IMO, if you have no mechanical ability I would think again? Pre-90s and especially 70’s old cars require lots of preventive maintenance from well rounded mechanic. Though by today’s standards fairly simple, but still require knowledge. If you have to pay for that knowledge it can get pretty expensive. |

Call AG (all German) in Leesburg. They probably don't work on them but will know does. I did it for a SAAB I was considering and they got me pointed in the right direction. Ask both about parts.

Agree! If you have skill. How many today would even know what dwell angle is, or how to adjust crack opening on carburetor? I use to be motorcraft/autolite master. Easiest carburetor I ever rebuilt was autolite 2100 and 4100s. Qudrajets and Carter’s require bending of adjustment rods to get choke right. A real pain! Any new car now if you even think of working on it you have to have scan tool. Even if you got scan tool you have to be able to figure out how to use it. Just another layer of knowledge you have to have IMO. |
