Antique car help?
Hello! So, I've been looking for an older convertible that is in good condition, oldest around 1970, included with air bags and seat belts. Pretty much ready to hit the road without falling to pieces. And that is for sale in New Jersey, or in neighboring states. Price is not so much an issue as I'm more concerned about it being safer rather than cheaper. But the lower the price, the better. Though, I have been having trouble finding such a car. If anyone knows any helpful antique car sites, antique car shops in the area, or know of a car that fits the description, that would be phenomenal.
Thanks! xoxo
PS: Sorry for being so picky!

you're not going to find a 1970s ragtop with dual airbags, or airbags at all. your best bet is to find a 1990s mustang or some crap car like that. you're going to want to read up on cars before you go looking around for starters. second- why in the hell would airbags make a difference in a ragtop? you're going to die if you get in an accident with a convertible that requires airbag deployment. the only thing an airbag will do in that situation is keep your corpse in good enough condition for an open casket funeral.
Now that that's been covered- I suggest you consider going on craigslist and searching for a car. given your requirement for both safety and wind in your hair, I'd suggest an early 90s SS Camaro with a T-Top. that way you still have a top frame support. or a pontiac.
But I suggest you just pick up the first reliable beater you find. why, you ask? because its going to cost you less in the long run, and convertibles suck in the winter- its cold as hell, they leak, they rot out.... not pleasant.

(this honda is a fast little critter with a lot of performance parts and entirely new engine- if you can drive stick, check it out.)

The mileage for this vehicle is ridiculously low. check it out. but if you plan on buying it, check all of the rubber hoses and belts(vehicles with ultra-low mileage tend to have dry-rotted rubber due to lack of use)

now, when people put in ridiculous subwoofers and shit like this, half the time they're the kind of person that ignores the maintenance on the rest of the vehicle. be advised.

nice looking toyota with a sunroof. Toyotas are extremely well-built (that recall was the first they ever had), and I've seen this particular model being driven up mountains.
craigslist goes on forfuckingever, go check it out for yourself.
