I would not touch one with a 10 foot pole however. They aren't worth much, will not appreciate significantly and still need $$$ and effort to keep up. They also are boats, completely non-sporty with big dump truck steering wheels. I realize that's all a matter of taste!

Having owned multiple old cars, replacing everything under the hood that is rubber or plastic is a great first step. $20 worth of vacuum tubing and a few hours go a long way towards making it reliable. Coolant and breather hoses are a must do as well.
