Well this guy is a load mouth goose, he means well but is stupid.
And insurance is cheaper
Rust is the biggest problem with classic cars. Look for the floorpans to be rusted through and on some, the frame is compromised with rust. Rust can be repaired if it isn't too bad, but if it covers the body of the car, forget it. It will cost a fortune to fix it even before you get to the engine and transmission. Bodywork is your most expensive thing.
To my mind, a very personal opinion, the US has never made a single classic car AT ALL, EVER. Only Europe makes real classic cars.
I'd consider this but I live in NY. The snow/salt would kill it… I'm sad.
scotty whats your view on Kit cars?
Just don't crash in one
What do you think about Datsun 710 1976? I think it is a ford mustang for poor people.
Many people get a car from a year that is special to them. Maybe the year you were born, so you and the car age together. Or the year you graduated High School or got married. It could be the type of car a parent owned etc.
If you have a mechanical mind, a classic car is a good choice for a hobby, but if you are not mechanically inclined, avoid them. Stick to driving new cars and pay for maintenance.
