Debating on A Body or B Body for first car

Joe Mellusi said
Hi, Everyone

For the past few months ive been looking at cars daily, wishing i had an old mopar just like my dad. But im really having trouble deciding on what car i think i should get, I was looking at dusters for a very long time and then i looked at a 73-74 Roadrunner or Satellite. Im only 13 and i know i have a good amount of time until i do get a car but i really am having trouble trying to decide what i want. And theres other cars i like too that i might want so these arent my only choices.

Thanks,

Joe

I would post this same question on FBBO because all you are going to get here is A body propaganda. Personally, I love all mopars and all cars. Right now mopars are super hot and really expensive. I bought my duster from chris birdsong for 1700$. (green /6 auto, 1970 stripper model.) If you want a cheap affordable 2 door v8 muscle car, you will need to build it yourself. All the 340 4 speed cars are just too expensive for us young guys with no money. (I just got my driver's license so I was just like you last year.) I would just look for the worst optioned car that has good metal and bones and just start from there. Another thing you need to realize is that unless a family member or a good friend is willing to give you a mopar or any classic car, you are not going to find one on the internet worth what it is. for example: An old car is just an old car. a hunk of metal with problems. Likely rusted out. The internet has gotten so obsessed with the adjective and power words; one owner, only 1 of 300, highly optioned car, the only one with (insert buzz word). And they will want an exorbitant amount of money for a rusted out piece of **** just because it has some special option. The best place to look for cars is people's backyards, impound lots, google earth. (as creepy as it sounds you will see a lot of old cars sitting that since could have been hidden.) Just make friends with other car guys and you will be surprised to see how giving they are. Because they want to see the hobby, sport, and lifestyle of cars go on for generations and it is rare to see young guys getting into them.

Keep your eyes peeled, make connections, and don't sweat it too much.
