Would it be a bad idea to get a classic car (60s-70s) as my first?
I’d figure it won’t cost as much to get a used classic car, especially one that’s beat up a bit. That would give me time to work on the car myself, gain some experience along the way, and customize it to my own wants.
However, thinking about this makes me feel worried that it’s not a safe idea, due to the lack of safety features back then. I’d also have to learn on a manual, which I have no experience on. Lastly, how would insurance be?
It’s just an idea I haven’t put too much thought into, so if you all agree it’s a bad idea, I wouldn’t complain.
I was thinking of a 1970 Pontiac Trans Am. Is that a good idea? The only problem is I have no idea how to really work on cars. I don’t want to mess with the mechanical stuff, but I think I might be able to change the seats or something.
