so new word for me. I've got a 69 already. This is a 71. It's got some bumps and bruises, but it's maybe a 6/10. All my 5 kids will drive this. I hope.

Oh hell no! I would not let my kids have a nice classic as their first vehicle. Nope.

My son got my worn out commuter which was a `94 Cougar XR-7 with 145k miles on it.

My daughter got an `83 Toyota 2wd pickup.

Both damaged them in minor fender-benders which were their faults. It's what teens do when learning to drive.

I see rich parents buying their kids brand new Mustangs or Camaros and I just shake my head. They ALWAYS end up wrecking them.

Lol!!!
Trust me, I thought if all that. Here's my plan. We have five kids. They all will drive this pickup. The age in years works out.
I'd rather have them "borrow" "our" old pickup that will go "UP" in value yearly versus down like a X-RAY-7–R2-D2 would.
 
Not to mention the Sherman tank philosophy in a wreck that the bigger vehicle wins.
The vehicle will win, but the occupants in an older vehicle without crumple zones and airbags will suffer more injuries.
I say this after years of experience as an auto claims adjuster for USAA.
