ok so theres this kid i know who found a nice 1970 chevelle yellow with black stripes 350 motor 4 speed and he was wondering if that would be a good first car for him.

As long as he is mature enough to handle driving an older type car (brakes, steering). Hopefully he will appreciate what he has.

well with gas at 4 bucks and climbing i would say buy a 4 cylinder car. but if this is his first (hobbie) car and not a daily driver i say go for it!!

:yes:

i was 17 when my dad handed over the keys to his chevelle to me. it's the one in my signature. I always took care of her but in the beginnning i messed around a lot because i was young and stupid-blew the trans, diff, bent a valve, etc. But the thing was i eventually learned and ever since never ripped on her again-NEVER. But i also did all the repairs by myself so it was different.

I think he will eventually learn, if he doesn't already know what he has. These cars a DANGEROUS and easy to wrap around a tree, he should be fine though. It's a great learning experience. :thumbsup:

rock on

sounds great. my first car was a 71 velle. at first it was something i tore up on the weekends to impress chicks. now i realize all the stupid things i did to that mint ride. i recently got it back and now i look at all the money i'll have to put into it to get it back, BUT it's a labor of love. good luck to the kid!
