This is a fun discussion. 
I'd just like to add that old cars can be a good investment if you shop wisely. My 1968 has appreciated a lot since I bought it in 1996. If I had bought a brand new 1996 Mustang instead, it would be go for a fraction of its original price as a "used car" today.
KWIK ENUF has the right idea--have one of each if you can!

You can't compare an old car vs a new car.
The excitement from each comes from different areas of the brain.
The new cars are hi-tech, comfortable, fast and stylish.
The old cars hit you at a more visceral level. My old Mustang is loud and fast and demands a lot more attention when driving. Manual quick ratio steering, manual disc brakes and a manual transmission on an style suspension hits you differently. Still fun though and I would not trade it for a new car
I drove my 65 to the 1994 30th anniversary Mustang show in Charlotte, NC. No way I would do that again but it would be a cake walk in a new Mustang.
