As the comment below states, fewer mechanics or parts changers know how to
fix older cars. Where I come from in Southeast Missouri however, we still
have plently of good ole southern boys such as myself that can do it
especially with the help of the service manual. If you don't have one or a
set depending on the year, get one. My 83 year old neighbor has really
helped me learn how to fix my older cars and my new ones for that matter.

I drive my 73 Imp 90 miles a day and it is still
cheaper than a new car.
I have also found that a lot of repair shops that do
have the older guys working haven't worked on an older
car in so long that they forget a lot of the
specifics.
