Truck or classic car?

I'm a grade 10 high school student looking for a vehicle but I can't decide. I'm a 16 yo male tring to decide truck or classic car?

I'm thinking about getting an 03 ford f150 and giving it a lift or a leveling kit with off road tires to go mudding and having a topper on the box to have a ltitle bed to watch star s at night.

My next choice is my dad wants me to buy a classic muscle car, something like a firebird, trans am, 2nd or 3rd Gen Camaro, or Mustang. He s planning that it will be a father son project car. We're thinking painting it all black, a 350 or 440 big block with a blower (doms charger in first fast and furious movie).

My question is should I get the truck or the car? The plan is I ll drive the beater car until the car in finished. (Not going to tell anyone about the car until I show up in it one day at school).

Get a pickup truck with a bench seat up front. So you can get a girl to sit close to you and not be separated by the console. It makes a bed, and the steering wheel column is a perfect leg spreader. Forget the muscle car or lifting the truck. You want a real pus*y wagon. If you are real bold, put a mattress in the bed of the truck along with a cooler full of wine for her and beer for you. Remember wine can never get warm or it will go bad. Always keep the white or pink wine cool. Also, keep a bottle of sparkling wine in the cooler because it will get her drunk quicker. Trucks also last much longer than cars. You can keep the truck forever and buy a new SUV later on. You will never like cars if you buy a truck.

I'm inclined to say truck given the reason above about console absence. But are you confident you won't flip a truck as a new driver?

Truck

because a truck is eligible for what the young man wants to use a vehicle for but a "muscle car" not:
a truck can carry that "topper box" or a simple air matress to lay on, even a camper to sleep in at the beach on a weekend, how amazing that alone would be, of course the truck bed should then be long, the cabine doesn't need to be any bigger than a short cabin with only two seats. Beside that, a lawnmower etc. Can be transported on the truck to do jobs to earn money… There are many possibilities, many things to do with a truck.

if the truck is a 4x4 or an awd, it can be used for mudding and with bigger tires it will have enough buoyancy to even float on water and to never getting stuck from sinking down to much into the mud.

the truck doesn't has to be slow, if it has an awd and a turbo is installed, then it will accelerate quicker than a "muscle car", not with those bigger tires for floating on liquid water and mudding but with tires about the same size as a "muscle car" with awd. Then trucks are made stronger to carry heavier loads, that will make a truck endure more. Installing a topper box can be a father son project too or if the father son project is supposed to continue for more time, then a turbo can be installed or building a camper to add on top of the truck will take even more time.

'03 F150… Can be had for a couple grand. Bad mudding platform, going to have to dump a lot of money into it if you want a "solid" mud truck.

Classic car with hot engine, plus upgrades to keep it on the road… Talking $30,000 to six figures.

Neither make a good choice.
As a first car get a nice Toyota or Honda.
Lifted tricks are horrid to drive and are much more likely to roll over
ANY modifications need to be notified to yiur insurance and put up the cist.
Classic cars make terrible daily drivers. They lack ALL modern safety features. They are expensive to run. They are weekend fun cars not daily drives.
Again stock is worth a lot more than a modified one.

I drive an '03 Honda Civic because it gets 500 miles on a small tank of gas. My 4x4, 1999 Ranger supercab gets driven about once a week because the Civic is cheaper to run.
