watching this thread, great question i have started thinking about...I also wouldn't mind getting my boy a car that isn't like every other kids 10 year old Honda accord/Toyota camry, but not too expensive and relatively safe. I want to make sure he learns how to wrench on cars in the process, it has served me well over the years. He is only 12 now so I have some time, but he is a car fanatic. I don't have a lot of spare time, but thinking toward getting something in a year or two we can fix up together. He saw a 944 the other day and was definitely intrigued. I also saw a full size bronco (late 80s/early 90s) that I thought was cool.

I think there are several late 80s cars that could be easy enough to work on, relatively safe, and not too expensive.

edit; I would buy an air-cooled bettle in a heartbeat to fix up, but not sure his mother would think it safe enough (e.g. no airbags, etc.)
