'72 Monte Carlo, Yeah or Neigh?

If you’re getting a vintage car like that, you may want to think about doing the maintenance yourself. To bring it to a mechanic gets expensive quickly.
If you are in a position to do the work yourself, that’s great. It is fun to get greasy, work with your hands and see the results of your labor.
While older cars are just fun the drive for various reasons, keep in mind that there’s nothing worse than having to work on a car because it has to take you to school or work the next morning. That takes the fun out tooling around in a vintage cars very quickly.
You’ll very quickly start thinking of your cool car as an old car. It will take the fun out of that hobby for life.

I suggest you get a modern ‘driving appliance’ first. Sure, they are not fun to drive but it gets you from A to B. Get something reliable and not crazy expensive.
Then, later, when you can afford to have two cars and maintain them both, get a vintage car.
