RE: Where to start in purchasing?
I'm 16 too and just bought a 68 coupe for $3800 bucks. I've been looking for a long time and I finally found the one. The guy was asking 6K for it, but he needed the money and took it for 3800(prolly could a got it for 3500). I got a good steal because it's in pretty nice shape(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...g68/car003.jpg). I looked at a bunch of cars before I found the one. Just keep looking and you'll find a deal from an old lady or something.

Not to be the kill joy here, but before you go off buying one, talk to your insurance company and see what sort of rates you'll be looking at. Maintenance and insurance for a car this old and someone your age may be hard to swallow. Other than that, the advice everyone else has given you is a good base to go from.

my insurance right after i got my license was around 100+- a month for liability only. I was insured on a 1973 Plymouth Scamp w/ a 318v8. Having a old car will give you a lower premium than a new car by far.

Insurance is what im looking at right now. Any new teen drivers want to share how much your paying for insurance?

check out your local craigslist. being 17 i know what your feeling (owning a 1970 coupe) and theres nothing like rolling up in the school parking lot knowing you have the only classic ford muscle those kids probly ever seen.
theres just nothing like those classic panty droppers (least at my school)
