My first car was a 69 cougar that was in decent shape, I wanted to keep it and restore it. However after paying $50 (in 1984) for two marker lights, I decided that I was not rich enough, or mechanically inclined enough to partake in this hobby.
My thoughts would be, if you buy something that is somewhat restored, have it appraised and inspected by someone. At least you know what you are getting.
Search the net to get a sense of what parts are available and the cost of the parts.
Maybe scout out a show and shine and see if you can connect with someone who has a similar rig to what you are looking at.
And I would think lastly, get ready to give up your garage to this project.
