You will find it cheaper to have something older than newer and worth more espically if its an antique.(except for gas milage). Face it you have to work on everything or pay someone to do it.
Insurance is lower on mine and city taxes are Free.
EB is a novice machine its very basic to own and work on, parts and information are avalible everywhere. Set some guide lines in what you are looking for and what you are willing to pay and a price range.
Example: Wanted running 73 sport automatic, PB, PS, Disc front brakes, little rust, Willing to pay $3500, Price range:$1000 to $3000. I settled for a $600 67' runnning with everything. I took the rest of the money and spent it on a new clutch,paint, tires and rims.
When I was 16, I had a 68' convertible running. My dad told me to get my project out of the yard within 2 weeks. I was lucky enough that the Votech would let me store it there while workiing on it with limited funds. When school let out I found a farmer who rented out a barn for me to set it in. I bought the car for 200$ Sold it for $15000.
Most of all prove your Dad your willing to stick with it and respect them at the same time. Its not how bad you really want it, Its how bad you willing to stick to it.
