Any Ford or Chevy will have plenty of parts available no matter what year or model.
Stay away from vintage European cars. They are beautiful and fun to drive but are nightmares to repair and they break down often.

- the simpler the car , the better off you'll be. i've had over the years, a 1966 Volkswagen beetle and datsun roadster, the beetle was fun, easy to work on and a great daily driver. the datsun was fun, fast but a bit finicky at times.
- currently my daily driver is a 1967 vw bug. i've had for seven years now. a great daily driver.
- the key is, these cars are not as "plug in and play" as the current cars are. plan on learning some basics regarding maintenance.
- someone suggested a mustang. - good choice, and a great car.
- i like my cars air cooled. one less fluid to worry about.

60's Ford Mustang.
Most of them, except for the muscle car versions, were basic cars. They were plentiful and fun to drive. Lots of parts available.
Expect to pay at least $10,000 - $15,000 for one in good condition.
The price of classic cars has skyrocketed in the last few years.
Even though classic cars are expensive, if you take proper care of them, they will hold or increase in value. But the key is that you MUST take care of them.
