Okay, so here's my situation. My parents have told me that if I get a scholarship to college, they will give me the money which they have put away for my education. That sum of money is approxiamtely $12,000. In addition to that money, I would have about $6000 to spend as well. So I'm talking about being able to spend about $18,000. Now, my question is: would it be a mistake for me to spend that money on a very old car?
I would be looking for something probably from '69-'70; more likely than not it would be a hardtop. I guess I also should ask if I'd be able to find one in this price range. I would want some luxuries, like power braking and air conditioning. Also, I want a big engine :biggrin:, preferably a 351 or larger (428 CJ would be ideal :jawdrop
. I'm just a bit concerned about reliabilty. I haven't worked on cars before; I just simply LOVE the Mustang body style, as well as the performance aspect of the car. I don't really find many of the modern cars very intriguing; there's just something about the 1960's cars that interest me to no end.
So what do you think? It would be my daily driver, and it couldn't be a project.
Thanks a lot,
Frank
