Tehy're right about the early Stangs easy to work/learn on. But, $1000, can't find any in the northeast for that money. At least not rust free! Plan on spending a little more than that. Especially if you want to have it for an investment. I'd stay with the small blocks. Save some money and then big blocks might be a little too much power for a first driver. Also consider the late 80's, 5.0's. The price's are dirt cheep. Parts are all over, and they will be classics soon enough. Yeah I know they have EFI. But once you start working with them, they're not all that mystifying.
