Classic Cars and Electric Vehicles
There have been several successful conversions of classic cars from gasoline to electric power. You can find numerous videos on Google or YouTube showcasing these electric classic cars.
 
EV Corvette Stingray the "E-Ray"
 
A notable trend is the transition from gasoline to electric engines in traditional performance cars, such as the Mustang Mach-E SUV and the Corvette. In the coming years, we anticipate an all-electric Stingray with 1000 horsepower, and potentially an SUV version.
 
Stay informed; electric vehicles are here to stay.
Classic Cars
Will classic cars remain collectible? Is the interest in these cars a temporary fascination of the older generation, including baby boomers? Will terms like "3-deuces", "dual quads", "4-speed", "high-test gas", "muscle cars", "land yachts", and "hot rods" fade away? Will there be anyone left to appreciate the unique styling features, chrome accents, fins, hard tops, vinyl tops, fastbacks, and muscle cars?

1969 Factory 427 Bel Air
Do you remember when purchasing a new vehicle involved selecting from multiple options, including model, trim levels, exterior and interior colors, performance packages, and engine/transmission choices? Those were memorable times.
 
Is there another generation prepared to continue this legacy, or will these classic cars end up abandoned in garages and junkyards?
 
Younger car enthusiasts seem more focused on customizing and personalizing performance cars and trucks from the 2000s. These vehicles feature small engine displacements, high horsepower, computerized engine tuning, sophisticated electronics, impressive performance, and good fuel efficiency, making them highly appealing.
 
I recall the popularity of restored Model T’s and A’s during my youth, which now appear to be largely forgotten. Is there a future for our classic 50s and 60s cars?

First Aid Kit for My C2 Corvette
 
When cruising in your classic car on the weekend, do you worry about potential breakdowns and how to handle them? With no parts readily available and limited options, calling a flatbed service might be necessary. Many classic cars are equipped with aging belts, hoses, points, condensers, distributor caps, rotors, and ignition coils—components prone to failure.
 
To address this, I created an Emergency Parts kit, providing a chance to repair issues instead of waiting for help. Although I did not seek NCRS original parts, I sourced good quality, new parts from Amazon and eBay for approximately $100, including:
  • Alternator belt
  • Water pump belt
  • Ignition coil
  • Points and condenser
  • Assorted hose clamps
  • ½ drive socket set
  • Set of wrenches
  • A couple of screwdrivers
  • Pliers
  • Vice grips
  • Feeler gauge
    • Electrical tape
      • Box of assorted screws and bolts

      All this fits in an inexpensive 24” plastic toolbox.

      Classic60s
      Is it Classic, Antique, or Muscle Car
      Brass Era
      This is an American term and generally refers to automobiles that were manufactured between 1896-1915. Known as the "Brass Era" because of the brass radiators, headlights, and other trim. They are also referred to as the “Horseless Carriages”.

      Antique              
      There are different definitions as to what defines an antique car. The Antique Car Club of America defines an antique car as any car over 25 years old. However, definitions for registration requirements vary from state to state. The antique car era includes the Brass era, Veteran era, and cars up to the 1930s. Later years are often referred to as Classic cars.



      Classic
      A Classic car is generally defined as an older car, typically at least 25 years old, with historical interest. This broad term can apply to a range of vehicles, from 50s Fords to Chevy pickups. Today, cars from the 50s, 60s, and 70s are commonly recognized as classics, as evidenced by their prevalence at local car shows.




      Muscle Cars  
      Muscle cars are a category of high-performance classic American cars, usually intermediate-sized with large displacement V8 engines. These rear-wheel-drive vehicles often derived from midsize family cars, such as the GM A-body models, as well as midsize and full-size cars from Ford, Chrysler, and American Motors.
