write up a legal agreement with your father that you promise obey all the current laws and never to street race the car. you will take the car to the track for either drag or autocross whatever your flavor is to learn the car and release the need for speed. if you stick to the agreement this could be the best time of your young life. if you fail to uphold your part of the agreement it could very well be the end of your young life.
Coming from a truck driver....I'm impressed...lol
It's your money kid. Buy the car. You will have a hard time keeping your Dad out of it. I had a '69 Z-28 at 17. I grew up racing dirt bikes though... I was also around a lot of old car guys as well. My Dad had a '69 El Camino SS 396. I was already kicking butt in the El Camino with the old guys, so Dad had enough. Took me to a car dealership, set me up with an old beater they had outside. I wasn't impressed, but he was my Dad. The real car was hidden...I had a hell of a birthday, and a hell of a Dad. Of course, it came with a payment book, but still impressive...good luck, be careful, and remember, you know how fast it is, you never have to prove it.....
