Didn't Laura Bush murder her boyfriend while drunk with a Corvair? At least that's what the likes of Brian Williams claimed.
That was a well hidden story. Do you have a police report on that event?
Old dozer , with steel ar sheets and a vast cooling system so i don't sweat my nuts off in the cab . Maybe even a surplus tank jazzed up .

Will the Ignition Coil / Module still function?
No idea. I guess I need to get an ammo can big enough to drop the chainsaw in for safe storage.

The best vehicle for survival pack is the one you can fold and take it with you. It uses no electric, gas, or anything but your muscle power.

Had a '65 Corvair convertible and it was a fine little car.
Current ride is an '03 Grand Marquis. The electronics to control much of the cars features are there, but at least they are not communicating with parties unknown.
Ralph Nader made a lot of money ruining good things, that people enjoyed. Can't be having too much fun in a leftist world!

For great Justice
Probably has more to do with the power / location of the EMP than the car you have, might fry a battery/charging circuit in a Model T parked outside, but a Tesla in a basement parking garage might be fine. lots of pre-fuel injected cars still have electronic ignitions, and lots of unshielded circuits that could damage things like lighting, voltage regulators, etc, and generally need more maintenence with less parts availability. Newer cars have decent EMI shielding on sensitive components, and EMI emission control is taken into account by engineers. Modern cars might stand a better chance than people might think. 80s-90s cars probably would probably be the most vulnerable, less shielding, more sensitive electronics, less parts availability, more maintenence etc.

Not sure, but a Model T might fair well. If it ever happens, my FIL lives within walking distance and I’d try out the one he owns.
Wonder how well my 48 AC model C tractor would do?
It has a magneto, instead of a coil.
Heck, I could rig up something being powered by one of my hit and miss engines. Some of them don’t even have spark plugs. They have igniters. They use a battery and a buzz box, much like the model T.

And the ballast resistor (if you're still running the original ignition) or the module (if you've upgraded it to the later factory electronic).
All joking aside, awesome car. I was a Mopar guy for a certain period of my life.
