However I personally would not want a new car that just looks like an old car.
It would be all those little idiosyncrasies of the actual classic car that would interest me. If I am going to have an all new car with just appearance of what I like it would defeat the purpose of having what I like.
Make sense?

In a sorta twisted way, yes.

Reminds me of an old joke. Sadist and Masochist get married. On their honeymoon night the masochist turns to the sadist and whispers, “hurt me. Please.” Sadist smiles and whispers, “no.”

I get it, but for me, I've had enough of old cars.

One day in the summer of 2005 I'm driving home from work in the Jeep when the seat springs break and I suddenly sink into the seat. Went out the next day and bought the Dodge. I figured I had saved enough money driving a $1500 truck for over 5 years.

I'd use the Bat Drone to carry them home.

Well, let's say you're not really Batman, but Batman put it back to stock, and is giving you a really good deal because he has a gen2 coming in, which is WAY better. Then what?
