16yrs old, first car advise?!
I'm now 16 years old and bought my first car a 72 duster 9 months ago. The car is solid, runs good with a 318 and has a cool paint job. but after paying $10,500 and putting a total of $14 grand into the car already I have now realized I paid to much for it. It's definitely upsetting to see better cars out there for less after the fact. I don't plan on giving up on the car as much as slowing down with my ever expanding plans of what to do with it. I had just bought a 383 and trans out of a 69 barracuda that was rebuilt a few years ago for $1,500. The motor has a mild cam put in and should fire up, with it never being ran after being rebuilt. I just found out the trany is a rare one, with it being a 65 push button 727. I know decide to sell the motor and trany for a profit, now that it would cost me more money to install into my own car. I guess I will just keep the lil 318. Any thoughts or comments on my story so far?
