Q: What is gas mileage like on old school cars?
I’m planning on getting a old school box chevy

A: It depends on what you call old school. Some of them got decent mpg (14-20), but some of them didn’t (3-9).
A lot of it depends on how they were geared and how you drive them.

Q: Why are some guys attracted to girls in old school cars?
I own a 1965 Ford Falcon and when I cruise around, some guys give me a head knod, ask my name, want my number or buy me a drink or whatever they have to offer. But when I drive my every day car. They dont seem to car one way or the other.

Is it true about boys and toys?

A: A women that appreciates old school cars is cool, likes one of the the things that most guys appreciate. She has class and was probably taught a few things about cars and men, not a “Barbie” type. She probably won’t send you to the poor house being high maintenance. Probably won’t get caught up chasing the Joneses. She knows what she likes, is fun to be with, and is self confident.

Too bad, I am already married.

Q: Can anyone tell me if there are any old school cars that are 6 cyilender engines?
Like I know some Chevy Nova’s and Ford Mustang’s, but is there any more?

A: almost every manufacturer made 6 cyl.

Q: Do the old school cars run in diesel?
especially the muscle cars? I’m planning to buy one

A: No, muscle cars ran on high octane gasoline. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find high enough octane gasoline to run a real muscle car without it “pinging”. The old school muscle cars had a much higher compression ratio and the lower octane gasoline would “ping” or ignite before it was supposed to. Before you buy a muscle car, find out what octane rating is recommended for it and make sure it is available in your area.

For those taking notes: The term “pinging” is used by most everyone who works on cars, it is not “a high school term”. It is used by mechanics who have worked on cars for 20 years and it is used by 20 year olds. A 1965 Chevrolet 327 cid with 350 horse power had 11 to 1 compression ratio and ran best on gasoline with about 120 octane rating, which was available at Sunoco gas stations in the 60’s… I don’t think it is available at your local gas station now. A brand new Chevrolet “crate engine” has 9.1 to 1 compression ratio and has 350 cid and 330 horse power. The higher compression ratio made it possible for the engine to make more than one horse power per cubic inch. When the compression ration went down, it was no longer common for an engine to make more than one horse power per cubic inch. This space was supposed to answer the question if muscle cars ran on diesel, which I answered and gave a very brief note to find out what octane rating was needed for the particular car to be purchased and to find out if the gasoline was available in the area. If someone wants to answer a question, answer the question without trying to attack another answer, especially if the former answer is correct.

P.S. I set the World Drag Racing Record for E/Stock Formula 2 in my 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS with a 327/350.

Q: Is driving an old school car manual transmission harder than newer cars?
When I say old school i mean 1950s-1970s. Is it harder to shift in an old school car then new car?My grandpa said all his cars back then were stick shifts and he said you needed to know a technique called “double clutch” in order to drive them. He said new cars today are made more efficient so shifting with the clutch is easier.

And if the shifting technique for older cars is different, in what ways do they differ?
I’m considering getting a 1968 Chevelle 4 speed and I just wanted to know how tough that would be compared to a modern shift stick now a days.
Thanks.
Thanks for the answers fellas.

A: My experience has been that it’s easier to shift in the older cars. Bigger engines meant more torque, and combined with low ratio 3 or 4 speed transmissions, made for a much larger margin of error when trying to shift.
Double clutching wasn’t necessary, but you could use it if you missed your first shift. Just rev the engine, let out the clutch slowly, and climb into second gear.
A much funner thing to do, especially if you were driving someone else’s car, was to speed shift. No clutch, just shift by ear. At certain RPM’s, the transmission can be shifted without engaging the clutch. Find that point, and you could shift through all the gears and be flying in no time. Miss the shift at speed, and you would destroy the transmission instantly. Either way, it was always good for an adrenaline rush.

Q: What are some old school cars, like the shelby GT500.?
That are cheap, well affordable, and can be suped up.

A: You wont find a GT 500 but that doesn’t mean you cant find a good deal on a cool car that will lend itself to modification. However you need to narrow your search to what you like, Chevy, ford, Pontiac…so on, you can find many good deals if your are patient. You can find mid 70s to late 80s Camaros for a good price and these cars (although smog regulated) can be modified allot. If you don’t mind four doors you can find cars that are in nice shape and V8s for fair prices too…don’t be narrow minded when it comes to a search, you wont find a ready to run GT500 or any other “muscle car” for 4 grand but you can find a used 66 mustang coupe with a small V8 or straight 6 for 4-5 grand if you look in the right places…..I recommend looking on eBay motors, under collector cars or Traderonline.com, there are tons of cars out there ripe for the picking…you just have to be creative.
