I totally disagree, I wouldn’t trust anything past 1980.

Anything beforehand can be worked on using only a bent screwdriver and a paper clip.

And it doesn’t hurt to have a rubber band in the glove box just in case.

As far as rust goes, it isn’t a mechanical failure, it a failure of the owner to maintain and look after the car. The same goes for why most older cars fail.

Newer cars are built and treated by most owners as a consumable commodity, it’s part of the throwaway society we now live in.

Older cars were built to last.
