Young driver concerns for 1966 mustang?

Let me introduce myself first off.
I'm a 'gearhead' as people say, and have restored quite a few cars in my past so i know my way around a car, and have been racing all my life from gocarting to going to sumit point i've done it. But however i'm still a young driver (16) and i understand that does come with an onslaught of concerns. I have been thinking of restoring a 1966 ford mustang for personal use (also there's a 1966 bel air i'm looking at). Of course i would take it to summit and do the slick pad and practice high performace skills before i even thought about daily driving it but i'm still a young driver and it is still a decently fast car so my question is, Is there any way to convince my parents to let me? Or should i just stick with the bel air?

Speed costs money - (insurance money in your case) how fast do you want to go - (or go broke)?

Get the answer to the insurance costs between the two vehicles and go from there. You could be the worlds best track driver but the insurance companies will not take that into consideration (in your favor anyway).

I agree with the first answer

For age 16-24, Insurance costs are stacked DRAMATICALLY against any sort of sporty car, no GT, type R or RS or HO or anything with hood scoops, spoilers, flares. I'm sure you could restore a beautiful Shelby Mustang but insurance would be prohibitive. They might be OK with a 6-cylinder mustang. My son's first car was a 72 mustang boat with the 250 inch straight 6, and insurance and registration were cheap, but it was a money pit needing brakes, transmission and various major rework each year. So as long as you are mechanically attentive, checking and changing your fluids, with no OBD computer/check engine light to tell you if you forgot to do something, you'll live.

Just don't. Using a classic car as a daily driver is a recipe for trouble regardless of driver experience. You increase your chances of getting into an accident getting stranded and doing bodywork on a classic car will be far more expensive. If you really must have a classic car as your first car, at least have a beater for daily driving.
