Just another thought with the younger crowd and our hobby. Could they be intimidated by the fact vintage MV's have standard transmissions, many of which come with no syncro? Standard transmissions are getting rare in modern vehicles today. I work a couple of days a week in a wash bay at a local dealership. Every once in a while the youngest guy in the bay ( mid 20's) has to bring in a Jeep Wrangler that has a standard transmission and he cannot do it. One of us 50+ Geezers has to drive it in and out for him.
