Those 200hp VW engines are grenade engines, they won't last half as long as a regular VW engine/

Again, I was never a fan of those cars, but don't feel bad, there were a lot of cars I was never a fan of. Just my opinion in my own taste of what a car should be of course. I have several other classic cars too, but that Plymouth is the first one that I kept in my small current collection. I got my cars cheap years ago before the prices started to get too nuts and bought them from friends, or people who were just selling them below market value. I never buy stuff like that at market value, it has to scream deal for me, same with my small vintage bike collection, I won't spend a lot of money for a vintage bike just because it's listed as "vintage"; all my vintage bikes I paid less than $100 for over the last 6 years or so. I didn't even think about collecting bikes until the car market when to far north, I still look for cars but haven't found any outstanding deals in a while, so when the prices got to crazy I looked to lower costing options...bikes, but even that has stopped now since they to have gone to far north in their prices, but like cars I still keep my eye open.
