If possible, it would be better to but one that's pretty well done by someone who will lose their shirt selling it to you. Maybe buy a used Cayenne turbo or something and enjoy modern performance, comfort and towing?
lots of money thrown at it- old cars will NEVER have the rigidity of a modern car- old car body feels so loose it's like the fenders and doors aren't even bolted on- car will ride poorly due to the high spring rates and with that come lots of interior noise of course.

My 70 LeMans has poly bushings and lowered springs- skateboard riding across gravel is quieter IMHO.

Do it just for the novelty, don't expect it to rival a modern car in comfort tho. You won't mistake the ride quality for a BMW.
