Hey guys,Has anyone here purchased an older model Mustang, prefably a 60's modle? I'm currently looking to buy one that runs, but may need some work such as tune ups and changing out seats, shifters, and etc.  I have little experience working on vehicles, but always wanted to learn.  Would I be going over my head by trying to purchase one or are they easy to work on?  I was told old school vehicles are pretty easy to work on becuse everything is right there and there are no fancy…See More

Hi there William. Welcome to AoM. Also, thought I'd give you a friendly invite to check out my relatively new group, The Great Debate. Just click on "Groups." It's the one with the colorful galaxy picture. It's also one of the most active groups on AoM. In any case, great to have you aboard.
