Teenagers / Classic Cars ??

This is quite the popular thread. Kinda a situation I was in. My best friend bought a 68 chevelle when he was 13 and it was rough and was able to restore it with his dad to drive to prom senior year. but in the mean time he drove a fox body mustang.
My other buddy has a 68 torino gt with a 302. he drove almost every day if not he was driving his 90s f150.

Now to me. I started of driving the family car a 1994 chrysler new yorker. veryy veryy lonnggggg car. but was comfortable and nice to drive with the 3.5 in it.
Both my brothers have 99 neon r/ts one red with silver stripes and one white with blue stripes. It was only destiny for me to get a blue with silver stripes to complete the american tribute. Sure enough my dad found a blue 98 neon r/t in the new paper for 3500. we went and test drove it and he ended up fronting me the money to buy it. and i payed him back over the years while i modded it out a little with a few boltons under the hood. it was quick and reliable for a 4 cyl the motors are straight forward and easy to fix if anything ever goes wrong. the head gasket issues was only in the 95s and early 96s when they were 1 ply the factory made them 3 ply the second half of 96. I would average around 30 mpg and it was peppy with the 3.94 trans in it. I then in college found a 85 power ram that me and my dad worked on and i almost have on the road and this past year i picked up a 67 barracuda that we are going to restore together. One of the main reasons i am close to my dad is cars. we go to cars shows ever where and our yearly vacations to chryslers at carlise and the mopar nationals in ohio. My neon has 155k on it and not may problems over the years. same little issues ud run into with any car. But having that car it was different and i took pride in it like none other. the paint looks almost mind and thats where i learn a lot of respect form cars form even though it wasnt fast.

Id say find a 4 cyl like a shadow or neon so she has gas and safety and find an a body or what ever suits her and work on it together over the years and her awareness will increase and she will be a lot better off once she gets an old beauty to take care of.

All in all what ever you end up getting her congrats on having a girl interested in cars. Take advantage of it me and my dads relationship wouldnt be half of what it is now if wasnt for cars.

MOPAR OR NO CAR!!!!
