So I was in the market for buying my second car ever. Having been burnt in the past buying a modern era car (guy sold me a lemon basically, spent tons of money keeping that car running until the transmission **** out) I decided I'd go with a classic car. I'm not the most car experienced person here, but between me, my brother and my dad, and a couple of my friends, I figured if I go with an old car, I can do the majority of upkeep/work it needs done myself, without needing to go to a shop etc. Well I looked for a long time to find the right car. I almost got a 72 duster that somebody was selling for 2,200, but instead I chose a 1965 Dodge Dart GT 273 2bbl that was in 100 times better shape for the same price. I've already learned how easy the carb can be flooded (I felt like an idiot) and the important of a sun shade (temperatures are still hitting low 100's high 90's here in fresno, and an all metal wheel gets burn the skin off your hands hot)
But all in all, my first week of owning a classic american car has been amazing. I have a lot of work I want to do to this car, but I don't really know how to do any of it, and I don't have the money yet. But I will definitely keep everyone here updated.
Some front left damage
Seats are a little rough
As you can tell
Having a modern stereo is definitely nice though.
