If 1980's count as "old" how about this 1983 Big Block with the automatic (!) Valjoux 7750?

well yes to me they all count but we did a thread in here on age and what we call them to me vintage is like hmmm it changes every time but hmm 40's to the 80's say as vintage anything early being antique and newer then that retro so yeah every one has what they term vintage think the consensus here was anything older then 25 years makes it vintage and anything over 75 antique

I agree. It's not vintage but old enough and historically significant enough to qualify as a modern classic. A bit like its owner

yeah was tempted to put our IWL here it's brand new but based very loosely on the seagul 63 and we gave it a rather vintage looking charm to it so yes think it's going to be a definite classic of the future

Got this 1 for pennies on the $ (aka caught some1 slippin'), pics & descrip were horrible took a chance & I'm super excited I did, she was just looking to get rid of it for the most part.
