My 69 GTO hardtop has every bill since new and it isn't pretty (especially considering the owner was an older woman and she lived in Tucson Arizona) with endless repairs in the first 3 or 4 years including but not limited to...
carb (twice), battery (3), starter (2), alternator (2), water pump, timing chain, radio, 8 track (2), power antenna, fuel sender, rad (weld on tank failed), clock, hideaways, muffler (from a backfire due to bad carb), brakes, AC (two freon leak repairs) and of course tires etc
I just traded in my 2012 Suburban for a new one and after four years here is the equivalent list...
replace one daytime running light bulb (last week)
They don't make them like they used to!?!? Thank God!
