Classic Car for First Time Driver?
I'm a 14 year old guy who is into antique cars. I know my way around engines and I know how to fix them (I have expirience). I have been looking for a project car on Craigslist and I found a 1964 Ford Thunderbird with a 390 in it. Needs restoration. When I'm of age to drive it, it will be my daily driver. My concerns are the gas mpg will SUCK and it's not all that safe with things like drum brakes… Any input will be highly appreciated!
Why not get a Sherman Tank… Same weight and mileage but will command more respect
better looking too
Really, Ford Focus is a good starter car! Just leave the rust bucket where it is!

- Why don't car companies remake some of their classic car models if people like them so much? Of course safety is in mind because everyone would freak out if they didn't have a seat belt and air bags in every inch of the car, but why can't some of the companies just remake their best selling car models? Dodge could remake their 1948 Sedan and Ford could remake their 1949 Custom. I could list more but I can't think of any more classics.
- Where in the UK can I hire a classic american car for self drive, ie, as driver not passenger? I want to hire a classic car preferably something like a dodge charger or ford 69 gto for a day or two as a gift to a petrol head, obviously I want him to be able to drive the car himself. We're London based but could be in surrounding areas to pick up the car.
- Old classic cars vs newer classic cars? I'm looking at a 1974 corvette stingray and I'm thinking about buying it but at the same time i've been looking at f-body and fox body camaros and mustangs I need help narrowing down my decision so I would like to hear your opinions on whether to get the 74 stingray or the f- body and fox body mustangs
- Help this first time driver? I need all your opinions here. Ford Mustang or dodge charger? And why did you pick what you did? Good things about each?
