Classic Auto Air ice cold for 10 years. Original non-ac car.
 
Check out RestoMod Air.

It could be just the bullshit from a salesman.....BUT the guy that I spoke with from Classic Auto Air said that they get frequent customers that were looking to replace their Vintage Air units for theirs...
 
I don't have experience with either, but from an installation point of view, I lean towards Classic Air. Vintage Air routes the AC lines through the camber opening and into the car behind the fender well. Classic Air keeps the AC lines under the hood. Also, Classic Air uses an old school door and cable set up, and Vintage Air uses modern blend doors. Depending on your point of view, one is better than the other, and again I'd prefer simple, reliable door and cables over microprocessor controlled blend door motors, etc.

The 68 Charger I looked at last summer had Vintage Air. The seller told me the blend door system was very sensitive to voltage changes and required a microprocessor reprogramming from time to time. He claimed Vintage Air had some fixes (mentioned a diode and capacitor), so maybe newer units have addressed this issue?

Let us know what you decide and how it works out!
 
I have my 65 set up to the Haymaker from Restomod. One of the things I like about Restomod's units is that they have a ton of neat looking accessory items like their ducts, switch units, bulkheads. Way more than Vintage has available.
