>For Classics made from 1979 or older, with few exceptions.>Everybody has their own taste, but some tastes are wrong. If you aren't sure if your car is classic or not, it's not.>Your Honda Miata doesn't belong here.>US, Euro, Jap, or whatever.>Post your classic, your work on it, your hackery, and get advice.>Any and all discussion about classics welcome, but may not necessarily generate responses; don't get butthurt.>Period correct performance > cosmetics.>Metal > plastic.>Classic shitbox > modern shitbox.>JBweld and RTV can fix anything>If you see rust there is more.>Rust and bodywork are the most difficult thing to repair.>Electrical work is difficult until you stop reading forum posts and buy a multi-meter.>Low oil pressure? Worn mains and rod bearings. Use Lucas and 15W40 until you afford a rebuild.>Do NOT buy a classic and plan to pay someone to work on it.

>>28981141>, just scaled up about 30x because they're out of trains.based EMD traction motor repair-er
>79 or older>exceptions made for body styles that originated before the cutoff but carried over into the 80sWell I have an '85 but its body style started in '80 and thats only 1 year past '79 so it's good right guys?Right?Just kidding.Watching a CHP chase in L.A. DUI suspect doing 100+ mph on the freeway.Last couple chases I've seen ended rather uneventfully but this guy is a little erratic so they might spike strip or pit maneuver his ass.
>>28981157Was his car from 1979 or older? If not, FUCK OFF.
>>28981152You can delete the image in OP but not the thread.Because that would delete other people's posts and only jannies can do that (for free!!).Might be able to delete if no replies have been made but we're written in stone now.
>>28981159Well the '80 model could be purchased in December of '79 and my '85 is just like the '80....
>>28981163POAST RX-7 NAO
>>28981166Makes me wonder how many vehicles fit into my narrative.Its not an RX-7

>>28981157>panther platform introduced in 1978 for the 1979 model yearSo a 2011 crown victoria technically belongs here right
>>28981690And this is why the cutoff should be pre-74.Dont care how much of a following the panther has.Dont care if its a great platform.Dont care if it qualifies for "classic" registration (that can be revoked- which means its only recognized as a classic for tax revenue).The pre-74 was changed up to 79 because of some faggot crybaby that wanted his '78 shitbox included.Vintage =/= Classic.Age does not a classic make.If it wasnt a classic 10 years ago then its not magically a classic now. Its not based on some rolling clock like smog and everybyear a new flavor gets added.Classic was an era.That era ended.The book was closed.
>>28981135>square headlightsREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
>>28981149Then be the first one to figure out how
Neighbor has a stepside hes parting out.Bed is clean.My style side (fleet side) bed is smashed but I have donor panels to to patch it, just havent gotten around to cutting them all up.So now im debating if I just want to go with the stepside.Not sure if I want another stepside though.
>>28981897You do it by making fun of jannies

>>28981786hey buddy, if you haven't reflected upon the last hundred threads, let me sum it up for you; no one gives a shit
>>28982279NICE
>>28982280>t. Drives an '84 "classic".
>>28981149>>28981152>>28981160You can delete OPs, its either a 1 or 10 min wait, I think.The thread had just started, so what if two people posted? Now the general is ruined for how many weeks it stays up, because OP is a dumbass that can't 4chan.Stupid tourist phone posters.
>>28981786>Classic was an era.>It was a feeeeling, maaaaaaanYou sound like a gatekeeping boomer. Shut the fuck up.
>>28981786>Age does not a classic make.It literally does, you retard
>>28982672yeah and limp bizkit is classic rock
>>28982677>yeah and limp bizkit is classic rockthe fundamental definition of classic is anything a at least a quarter century old. Doesn't matter what your retarded brain feels classic means
>>28982672>t. 1.2 GPA in high school english>>28982686>a quarter century oldThats a bureaucratic label. If classic "status" can be revoked then its not a physical trait and is nothing more than political fanfare.
