heck yes its been worth it, and its worth alot more in the verry near future and the distant future. the way i see it, an old car with modern technology is way better than a new car . only becuase as everyone knows "they dont build them like they used too" my 78 datsun B-210 is WAY sturdier than ANY car that on the market now. and i can add almost any form of technology to it i want. plus, my b210 not only is EXTREEMLY rare where i live(my town and state) but it is also a verry well built rear wheel drive car that is a ton of fun to drive. it was my first car and i hope i die with it running stil. i want my car to be built so well that it outlasts me. theres no point in spending 30,000+ $$ on a car that will only last 10 or less years.n
