There's certainly something to be said about no car payments! And up until recently, I drove nothing but classics, the cost was way lower than a new car, even with upgrades. Once you factor in property tax, insurance, maintenance, etc, even an econo box over a 3-5 year period would afford you a very nice muscle car.

Just to touch on the point again, when it comes to performance, do a simple power to weight ratio comparison of older cars to newer cars. Sure, factor in the difference in the way those numbers were, and are now calculated. Then compare where the differences are in other areas, like gearing, overdrive, etc, and you can make those changes to your classic, and be right there.
