Teenagers / Classic Cars ??

My first car i was 15 years old. It was a 69' Nova 4 speed that i did fine with. My son is 17 and will start driving soon, i know he will have some issues with bouncing off of curbs, brushing against drive-thru poles, etc. His first car will be something like what 1968formulas340 posted. Then when he is comfortable, we'll find him a nice Mopar to work on. Just my .02
