Well, kid, you should have made a decision by now...let us know what you buy. It has been a great read. As I mentioned before. I was lucky to grow up around a lot of old hot rodders, so I was ready as ready was going to be.... I made mistakes, got stopped a few times, but never crashed a car. Blew a few engines...yes.... That was my fault for sure. I wish I had never sold my 1st two Camaros... If only we had known....lol. This car can be expensive when needing parts. I think for my first car...I would be looking for something a little more practical, but it is your money....
