That said, considering what my Dad has been offered for his ancient Pontiac it would appear a number of persons would go back to "1965" auto technology
1965 is hardly "ancient". Ahem...

I don't consider my 48 Willys Sedan Delivery, 64 Dodge Polara convertible, 70 GTO, or 73 Dodge Challenger being primitive. Rather just right. Those are all gone now, but there is a 2010 Challenger in the garage . I was a electrician in the auto industry for 34 years and not sure what " 3 pole electrical service " is. If you mean 3 wires, two 110volt and a ground, then I believe all residential serve is just that. Maybe I misunderstood. I've made my own Matchlocks, Flintlocks, and side hammer repercussion cap guns and have no desire for anything newer than those.
Don't get me started on my Dad's "goat," it would just upset both of us and spiral the thread into OT. In answer to Snide's implication I pointed out that electrical service is still maintained on REA standards from the Roosevelt years. That said, despite the necessity to trim flints, patch projectiles and the billowing clouds that prevent you from seeing if you hit your target or not, many people enjoy the ancient black powder designs. Those that argue the superiority of the newest innovation will never take the "you've run out of ammunition and all the stores are closed" challenge.
As for Hooda's comment that 1965 is not ancient... it's a matter of perspective. 1965 is over 20 years before I was born and just a footnote in a dusty history book somewhere.
My kids ask me occasionally about the "Olden days" . Makes me feel older than I am. By the way, I've heard it said that if you remember the 60s you weren't there!

It's hard for me to imagine why anybody would want to buy such an abomination. I'm guessing it's for people who want to hunt during muzzleloader season but who don't want to learn how to shoot a real muzzleloader.
I was born in Dec. of 56 so I was too young to have the memory loss associated with the 60's.
