Well...I'm 16, time buy a car, a truck, or both...

I have the opportunity to get an 89 Pontiac grand-am off of my brother, good engine, saftied, drives well. He will let it go to me for $200. The downside is that it has some rust on the lower door skins and rear quarters, and some of the clear coat is peeling off. If I buy my brothers old car, I will also be able to pick up a 76 Ford F-250 highboy, that runs and drives. I will be building this truck for mud racing.

Either that or...

I buy a mid 80's, early 90's ford F-150 4x4 Pickup truck off of a used car lot or where ever I can find a decent one for a good price.

What would you do, I'm looking for advice/opinions.

Thanks

 

Get the car that runs for $200 bucks. Cheap is cheap all around, and you're only 16 so you've got time.

 

I'll agree....I'd go with the car for $200.

 

Car...........then spend all your money building the hell outta the truck when you get it

 

Alright thanks guys, we'll see how this turns out...

 

Well, hope you end up getting 'em and I sure hope to see some pics of whatever you get!

 

Just buy and resale and/or trade, making a little profit as you go and moving up to newer vehicles. I started out with a 80 bronco that I got when I was 13 or 14, and now I have a 04 f150 at 17.
