Q: Buying a vintage car and then adding all modern technology to it

asked by on May 30, 2017

I want to buy a 1966 Ford Mustang and add all the modern technology to it. I was told that you can pretty much add Android Auto to any car as of now so it caught my attention. Would I be able to pretty much add all of modern technology to this car? I believe it's possible but want to hear it from someone else.
My car's transmission is unknown to me.
