I'm thinking YOU want a truck. Most teenagers really don't care about the old cars, If not actually embarassed by it. You really should give some thought to getting a disposable car for the first car not a collectors item. Even in factory new condition these trucks were not all that safe. You can install seat belts in these, but there is not a really good anchor point to be found. I put mine in but, I am still kind of leery of how thin the metal is I am attaching myself to. (osha says a tie off point for a person needs to be capable of holding 5,000 pounds) So do your math from there.
