Is this a good idea

[HAULN-SS]

I am thinking about selling my car (the intent is to get rid of a car payment)...take that money I would've been spending, and use it to keep the '71 on the road as a daily driver (after about a 4-5 grand initial investment).

So, basically, drive a beater, that I will constantly tinker with/improve until it is ready for prime-time.

I don't know why, but I have an urge to drive an old muscle car all the time. I have a motor to go in the '71, but will need to put an interior, trans, exhaust and brakes on it..everything else should be good to go
