Breh I'm talking to you as a professional mechanic of 15 years, son of professional mechanic and owner of an antique car myself ('73 tbird):
Pros:
-You'll get that
from everybody, even in well to do areas, especially if you're young. My dad had a '63 bird, '67 dart, and a '57 dodge pickup, and I inherited the '73. These old cars, in good condition draw more looks than $100,000 cars.
-Rebuilding them is fun, you learn a lot, even if you don't do the work yourself, the people who do it for you will keep you updated and you'll learn a lot.
-You're a part of preserving history.
-You could luck up and have something that is worth a lot of money. I had a neighbor that had a '70 charger that sat on the street all through my childhood, and right when I was getting ready to graduate high school, he put it in his garage and started working on restoring it. Fast and the Furious just came out, and the value of those chargers skyrocketed. About five years later, I was one sell at the auction for $1 million.
Cons:
-This is the golden age of cars, the farther back you go, the worse they get, The reliability of older cars is vastly overstated, they need a lot of maintenance to keep them in the state you want them in.
-On that note, good luck finding parts.
_Keep your tools handy, older cars need a lot more maintenance than newer ones. People forget that back in the day, cars needed maintenance as few as every 15,000 miles, now we have cars that can go 15,000 miles on an oil change.
-If somebody hits it, you're gonna be sick.

It's just a car and a opinion

3d printing is becoming a huge market with finding parts. I know what you mean, took weeks to find parts for 2 of my vehicles. Yup, classic cars are great investments if you are a car person but you have to buy it before the market deems those cars are worthy.
I do not know why people avoid buying cars which they will lose no value in.
I remember passing on buying a 993 Turbo for around 55K with a ton of miles what a mistake

Uppin this thread. Im currently in the market (browsing before jumping in) for a mid 90s W129 or a late 80s 560 SEC. Any vintage enthusiasts on here willing to drop knowledge?

Fuk vintage cars, all the oldheads buy up all the decent ones. Closest you'll get is a rusted frame for $15k cash
Cars today are better in every way. This our era.
If I has the choice though, I'm going 930 911 Turbo
