My son is 24 - and he's definitely not a "tuner". He really wants to restore a late 60's vintage Lincoln with the suicide doors. I think we're going to cut our teeth on something a bit easier and less expensive...
I learned to drive a stick shift on an MGB back in the '60s. Always had a soft spot for them. If you do start looking, beware of rust as they were one of the first monocoque cars to be produced. Everything else is pretty straight forward.
