Oddbean new post about login | logout In the past it’s always been American muscle cars. Now I’m kinda leaning Brit muscle possibly 1980 Aston Martin
V8.. V8 Vantage.. 🫡
Any experience or advice with these vehicles?
It has its known and common issues in varying degrees of severity from mechanical latch issues to total engine failure. A few have come through the workshop. My usual advice to would be buyers of classic AMs is generally non-technical and that’s.. be prepared. One with good maintenance history is preferred. I think most common issues can be addressed by a restomod. This late 70s V8 we maintain is owned by the son of a former owner of AM who lives in the area. This one doesn’t have any problems. 😄 https://i.nostr.build/hfe51gkqkncsDZYX.jpg
Wow, LOVE that color! Awesome excellent advice thank you 🙏🏻 yeah I figured the “be prepared” part so I’ve been very cautious as there’s not a lot to choose from around LA. The one or two I’ve seen were reasonably priced but not in good shape at all. I do like the idea of restomoding something but that budget is down the line in a future time.
