Also forget heaters, seat heaters, tops, hot vests and all the other junk for cold driving. No originals had them except tops-it's not what they were about. You say you don't want complexity and needless expense.
It's your money and your car. I will not join in after the torrent of nonsense that will follow.
Yeah, maybe I was hoping for a better (different) answer this time. Kills me to park the car all winter.

As for heaters, seat heaters, blah, blah, blah, I don't subscribe to any of that. The only heat I get is from the 427. The rest is just clothes.
