Build your own car.

Get a serviceable older vehicle, strip out the gratuitous electronics and isolate the modern ignition and fuel injection. Rewire the body electrics back to analog.

You don’t need a computer to make your brake-lights work.

You could take a modern pickup chassis and build almost anything up on it including an antique pickup or car.

I saw a nice 36 Ford truck cab and fenders begging to be transplanted on a modern F250 chassis. Somebody around here put a 39 Ford sedan delivery on an S10 frame...with a small block.

That way you can get the benefit of modern brakes, suspension and power train with the cool look of your favorite ride.

Then there’s kit cars.
