I totally agree about modern cars looking so lame. They're either overstyled or boring as heck.

1:17 Imagine being woken up in the morning by some random old guy with a camera loudly roasting your car in the street.

I have working AC on my 1969 mustang. You roll down the windows and drive really fast!

Restoring a classing car is another matter entirely. You can easily put $15k and hundreds of man-hours into restoring a car, then have it only be worth 5k more than your paid for it. Do it because you love it, don't expect to make a profit restoring cars.

I love classic cars. They're easy to work on, and I love to work on them. I am inspired to become a mechanic because of Scotty Kilmer. Thanks for all your help!

[jakixs]

Every single point he made i also made to other people. Theres no better feeling than owning a classic car. Cheap to run, easy to fix and you get looks and questions about it too.

[sadikmeah]

I currently own one hundred and eighty classic cars


...but they're all hotwheels

my wife bought me a 73 el camino for my birthday a few years ago (las vegas car, never seen salt or humidity). hot damn i love that woman 😂

I own a 1972 Chevy Monte Carlo with a 350 in it. Rides great, cheap to work on/upgrade and has enough of the bells and whistles like front disc brakes, AC and AM-FM radio for me. It gets a ton of compliments too. I plan on driving it until the wheels fall off and then replacing the wheels and driving it some more.

I have hated working on cars my entire life because I never knew what the heck I was looking at when i popped the hood. After only 2 hours of watching your videos, I've fixed a few problems I had with my used car purchase, and I find myself enjoying being under the hood wanting to watch more and more of your videos!! Thank you for educating people with your videos. I love your personality and presentation. Please keep making more videos and i will continue to be a loyal fan!!

Why i chose classic, old school:
1 Price
2 Style
3 Ease of maintenance(pick a model best for these)
4 The feeling of having one brings back the old days, keeping you apart from the younger people(you know...)
5 They have a soul. Something that talks to you through pure feeling.

[halroy]

Dang Scotty. I thought for sure you were gonna say no to classics. I'm happy to be wrong. I love my 71 dart swinger. I love the classics. They have a soul.

I'm 40 years old. Never had a car newer than 1982. Drive a '74 Galaxie daily. Can't even tell the new cars apart, not that I care.

Classic cars:
- Easy to fix
- No complex electronics
- Basic and straightforward engineering
- Nothing overcomlpicated
- Parts made with actual good metal alloys unlike the plastic you see these days
I wish car manufacturers could make cars these days like they did in the olden days but I guess that's corporate greed and planned obscolesence for ya.

[natiivejay]

I haven't watched the video and I already know the answer is YES

If anyone still has doubts, do it. If it’s over 100k miles get ready to have to replace ball joints, and normal wear parts like that. But, they teach you a new way to drive and the enjoyment while driving is in comparable to modern commuter cars. I own a 1981 GMC k15 with 115k miles and she always starts, and I’ve taken her on 6 or 7 trips that were over 400 miles round trip, and drove it to work the next month with no issues. Just make sure you have extra cash just in case something does go wrong, because trust me it will; but like Scotty said, parts are dirt cheap and readily available

I've been driving a 1968 Chevy pickup since I got my license at 16. I'm 43 now and I still love driving it. It has everything manual, steering, drum brakes, three speed on the column transmission. It still drives better than my loaded 2005 Buick.

My first car was a Lincoln Mark 5 guy ran a light and crashed into the front of me. His new car folded like tin foil and had to be towed. My Lincoln had damage but I was able to drive away. Insurance tried to fight me on fixing it becuase of the age but they paid for the repairs. Still to this day regret selling it. Now I have two old gm trucks and I agree the styling back then was cool. Cars these days have no soul unless they're sports cars or special editions. The rest look like bland carbon copies of each other. Currently looking for another old car now just not sure what I want. Lesson of the day is hold onto your old car. If your wife wants you to sell it slap a for sale sign on her head before slapping one on the windshield of your classic.

I bought a 1970 Oldsmobile 98 with 22000 original miles 2 years ago. Paid $6, 800 which was well below the market value. It's fun to drive and always a conversational piece everywhere I go with it. These old cars are all a piece of living history and well worth the investment of time and effort in them.
