LOL, I think my 1968 wood stove is better than your 1962 wood stove!!\n\n\nI guess being a restorer-mechanic-machinest and being involved in vintage racing for so long, I tend to look at what works, lasts longer, goes faster and stops quicker and functions better as improvements. \n\nYou on the other hand like the earlier higher quality trim pieces and the better fit and finish of the earlier cars. It's an I like chocolate, you like vanilla type of situation. \n\n\"Breakaway dull knobs and industrial plastic handles vs gleaming hard knobs and beautifully cast and chromed window and door stuff\u2026Because the old one\u2019s are how dangerous??\" \n\nI do think the old-fashioned knobs and vent window latch handles are more attractive, but can't help but to believe that the early ones contributed to more injuries and maimed faces, bodies and arms during crashes. \n\n\"Rube Goldburg carb/intake setup.\" All of the automakers including Volvo were struggling w/pollution control equipment at the time and some horrible stuff was built to bring cars into compliance. At least you can solve the one piece cast iron manifold's problems without a lot of work in an afternoon, or replace them with the earlier pieces.\n\n\"non-Art Deco steering wheel\" It was a huge safety improvement and again no doubt saved many lives.\n\nI was able to sneak the 68 Wagon back into the shop and I hope to have the trans and overdrive out and apart soon for the rebuild, and if the syncro's need to be replaced I'll be up to see you.\n\nDo you have enough hard cider and wood for the stove of should I bring some?", "likes": 4, "timestamp": 1487457107, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1398966, "authorName": "Bryan_A", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bryan_a/", "bidAmount": 16750, "content": "$16,750 bid placed by Bryan A", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1487459088, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 1398972, "authorName": "Bryan_A", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bryan_a/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Mrs BA: I knew I said I wouldn't bid any more but.....", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1487459515, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 1398981, "authorName": "analogguy", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/analogguy/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Jay Leno is doing a complete restoration on a 67 220 using a V6 Polestar twin turbo that will add to his George Swift \"sleeper\" collection.
