It's not just the metal but the machining and assembly. For practical purposes all engines today are blueprinted to exact tolerances. Fuel is cleaner too and with computer control combustion more complete. Across the board cars are better from design, materials through assembly. Even the bodies don't rust out the way they used to. Given a few air bags, better brakes and tires they're safer too. Regarding performance you can't compare. I was fortunate enough to occasionally drive a friends 66 GT 350 Mustang (original). A V-6 Mustang today would easily match it and a GT with a V-8 would go by it like it was standing still.
