Default Im New and Need Advice.

Hello. I'm a blue collar guy who always wanted a cool car but I never seem to be able to afford one. At 41 I have been a home owner for a year and I figured its time to get the car I want even if I have to fix it up over time. Perhaps some members could check out this add and see what you think.

Welcome to C.F. Looks like a decent unmolested one. Be sure to check the underneath (frame, floors,etc) with a fine tooth comb.

Welcome, Bill.
Nice project and I agree with others here on rust.
Don't forget the budget - its gone out the window.
I suggest whatever make/model you get, start a logbook and record everything you do and get for the new arrival.
The logbook will become worth its weight in gold later in life - we cannot remember everything.
Good luck with your journey.
