May i have your opinion on this please?

theres a 1973 lincoln continental that im tryin to get and this is the listing for it: this lincoln has 77,000 orginal miles, new carb. , new beautiful blue with gold pearl paint job , white leather int., you can run her at a 100 mph and she wont even shake, you must see it to appreaciate, i started to restore it and ran of of money and time the car got to go or me !!!, the only thing wrong is it has a small leak from the gas tank ... and no a/c ..but just needs a condinsor i had it checked ...the price is 2000 obo how much to fix up the gas tank and condensor for the ac? how much should i give him to offset that cost? and more importantly please help me answer this question. my dad agreed to let me have one classic old school car until i move out and get my own place. so when i had 3 grand he went out to jacksonville for me to get a 200 ci 6 cylinder mustang coupe with a straight body with under 60,000 original miles.my problem is that i tore up the car too much and then i realized not only can i not continue( i only make 200 bucks a week), i was also foolish since by the time i did this, i replaced perfectly fine parts. the car was all original. i replaced the hood,one door( i have another new door), both fenders, and new carpet. the mustang is missing one door, a trunk, all the lights, seats, radio,mirrors,glass,dash pad,both bumpers,wipers, and headliner. this car is not legal to drive and i hope i can still squeeze a grand out of it despite all the parts missing. i still have most of the original and all of the new parts. do you think this could be possible. p.s. when i took the seats and carpet out i painted the floor with por 15 to stop the few places of rust. the other two spots of rust are on each side of the quarter panel, but other than that, this is a florida car with a straight body, little rust, runs and drives fine! i really wanna keep the mustang but i doubt my dad will let me keep two cars in his driveway, so i must choose and although i havent lost patience, i must open my eyes. i havent driven in 3 years since my dui and i still have to reinstate my license and put a down payment for insurance. i also realized this lincoln has a big block, which drives me crazy! XD. 1965 mustang

Any car that old and only $2000 is going to have real problems. I'd buy it only if I could take it to my own mechanic to be checked out or if I could take one with me to see the car. Even if it drives like a dream for him, that doesn't mean something will not go out immediately. It usually does. Contact a garage and find out how much it costs to repair the gas leak (the car isn't drivable with that going on) and a condenser. As for which car, here is my advice: Get your life back together. Get your license back and relearn how to drive. Don't drink and drive ever again, even one drink. Save, save, save until you are old enough to live on your own and can afford it. Get as much education as possible. Get reliable transportation first and the "dream car" second. You are obviously very impulsive (replacing original parts). Sit down with your dad and go over all the points you mention here. He is the one who could have lost patience with you. Pay for a CarFax search on the Vin#. Don't trust anything the guy says. Even if he is 100% honest, only you can decide if this car is worth the money and time.
well i can answer the gas tank leak..... get the Auto gas tank repair kit from KBS Coatings for $59 may need some NuMetal epoxy putty if you determine the hole is larger than a pinhole.
