New kid from Wisconsin

Hello all, new here. :) I'm 17 and looking to pick up an early 70's A-body coupe - like a Dart Swinger or something similar, with the goal of having a nice V8/4-speed car in the end. I've never really dealt with domestic iron, always been into imports; my main car is a cherry Mazda RX7. But I want to get into the world of American V8's and broaden my horizons a bit; hopefully this forum will prove helpful!
