Sorry to bump an old thread but I didn't want to start up a whole new one with a newbie question. I'm still trying to decide what make/model/year to go with and I've been pretty open but last night I came across an article about old muscle cars and the best models to get for restorations. I'm not necessarily sold on a muscle car because, in general, they don't quite have as classic a look as I had in mind. But one of the aspects that has me considering a '60s muscle car is that they seem to have better parts availability than most (or all) classic hot rods. Is this a correct deduction or are their classic hot rod models that have better parts availability than say a Mustang? Maybe a simpler question: which classic hot rods are good buys for easy parts availability?
