I had the worst of it because I had one from the last production year that had early fuel injection that they hadn’t worked the kinks out of and it was a convertible with California emissions equipment. Parts were rare, expensive, or were no longer made and you got to pick 2.
The muffler fell out in the middle of the road and nobody made it, so I had to get a used one from Oregon that was missing two pipes that nobody made, luckily I was barely able to save mine.
I really wish I had gotten a mid-60s to early 70s coup because the parts are common and cheap.
If you can’t do the work yourself, you would be fortunate to find one guy 30 miles away that could take a look eventually.
If I was a millionaire, I’d have a couple bugs that were fully restored, but short of that I will just enjoy the memories of my car inspiring violence in children.
Had to re-read that once to realize that it didn’t involve mass fatality. Was relieved!
