Sure the motor is bigger but pretty close to the same power output. Half the gears. Poor brakes at best. Floppy chassis that is only good at cruising slowly and sitting at cars shows. Suspension isnt any better.
Wouldnt even consider it, no matter the 'value' difference.
Shunned ????
No, I agree with you 100%. My brother-in-law collects these things and once had a '58 that I drove. Worst car I have ever seen, handling was poor, comfort was poor, power was poor, tranny was atrocious and getting in / out - fuggetaboutit !!!!!
