Ignorant College Student--Need Advice!

I a dmit I didn't read all the posts, but i'm sure they all have good info/advice. I did read what you paid for it though.
look at it as a learning experience as being on here is that too! so what aspects of the auto world do you want to learn? mechanics, body/paint, upholstery, everything??the dart will eventually need it ALL.

I say get it running, if you want to flip it, and maybe, just maybe, you can get your $$ back.

just drive it and enjoy an old car. it doesn't no way have to have perfect shiney paint to love it. a great learning bed to understand all the basics of the automobile.....

if you have an interest in these old cars, you can study them for years learning all the details. when buying you gotta realize different models will have different values, ie early A body with a 273 vs a 70 duster with an original 340. BIG difference. bog work costs enough $$ even if you provide all the labor. makles a big difference if the car is straight, solid ( little rust), all parts are there ( ie bumpers), etc.....

everything costs $$$. maybe store it till out of school. yes your dad is right, it s a money pit. but what isn't??? school for sure!
