Unless you're super passionate about a specific car, I wouldn't venture down that rabbit hole. Like others have said, they are more work than it's worth. If you're not overly mechanically inclined it will be an expensive possesion. Parts can be difficult to come across and quit often they need TLC themselves before you can use them. Old vehicles tend to be tempermental and if you don't use them just right things break.
I had a 73 Jimmy with a removable top, it was a sweet looking machine but a complete money pit. It had an electrical issue I never sorted out and quite often wouldn't start for days on end and then magically would fire to life. It was also the slowest and biggest gas pig on the road.
