[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

Nah, for me, I'm dropping the Ford Coyote 5.0 into the back of a 360... ;)

The whole electronics thing, I think, will be worked around.

There are a number of stand-alone, DIY engine management systems available 
today that can plug-N-play with a lot of OEM sensors and can drive variable 
valve timing, etc. 

Where there's a will, there will be a way. There'll be too many of these great 
cars laying around, that someone out there will reverse-engineer ECUs to make 
them work again.

Major metropolises will enforce electric only, but I see it limited only to 
core city centers. (Physically) bigger countries can't be entirely electric. 
Also, all of those new electric cars will need to be charged... With existing, 
aging infrastructure. We're putting more demands on the electric grid now, so 
how are we going to put more on it in the future? Unless, there are MASSIVE 
upgrades, I don't see it taking off too soon.

I don't think it will be as dire as most people predict.

At 39, I've got time on my side that I think a lot of the great cars that 
slipped through my hands recently, will come back again :) 

Peter

True true, Erik

What with modern cars requiring $40,000 in electronic testing equipment – AND 
the know how to use and diagnose let alone repair – I fear the brink is 
sometime in late 80’s to early 90’s.  Then the hot set up will be Chevy crate 
motor adapted to an F360 - - - alas.

30 years from now, most of the “expensive” cars from the 60’s will come back to 
reality, those that remember them in the day and lusted after them will be 
dead.  Look what happened to brass era cars.   Even pre-war cars have a very 
limited following, unless they still have a standing class at major concours 
events.
