I think the parameter I would look at is WHY you want to be involved with old cars. Are you looking for a project to restore because you love bringing vehicles back to life or do you just want to drive an old car? I have a full time job and a family so it would take me years to restore a car that needed even a moderate amount of work. I realized this when I bought my Model A and decided to buy a car that was mostly restored so I had a little work to do, but could enjoy driving it right away...because I wanted to drive it...not work on it.
....Don't worry, even a good model A requires a ton of work to keep it running well.
