My 1968 Ford pickup is currently a lawn ornament because of a dead battery. I'll jump start it when I need it again. Over the many years I've owned it (bought new in 1968), it has needed a starter, brakes, batteries, tires and most recently a rebuilt alternator. The accelerator mechanism sitting atop the engine broke and I manufactured a replacement part from a block of aluminum (cut with a hacksaw and drilled two holes). Tranny leaks some, so I continue to add fluid as needed. Once had a rubber hose connector go bad on the tranny and it wouldn't "automatically" shift, but that hasn't been a problem for the past thirty-five years.
My most recent problems have been with mice making a nest inside the air filter housing and their stink from poo-poo beans and pee.
I don't expect the engine to go another 10,000 miles, but I doubt I'll need it to do that because I just drive it on our property. I haven't licensed it for the road since 1994.
