Hows that? It's 10x easier to work on and repair mechanically than most cars today. I use to be able to swap out a transmission in 45 minutes from start to finish in a car like that, 67 camaro. Basically the same from the underneath. lol
The blower is no big deal. If a part breaks replace it. Dont run it like it's on a race track all the time and it will last a long long time. Hell, you can even see the ground looking into the engine compartment. On my 3000GT VR4 when you open the hook you can NOT see the ground with all the hoses and wiring. Even that is not a HUGE deal if you take it slow. I pulled my engine and put it back in. I put it in and had it running in one day.
An older car once it is restored is not a big deal to keep up. Just keep it clean and change the oil. LOL
