Gary:
They're all relatively easy to work on, but the easiest model years might be
'69-'73. Thereafter, they acquire some smog devices, but the later years
shouldn't deter you either.
For your situation, I'd suggest getting a car that is fully sorted out.
Have an LBC mechanic thoroughly inspect it before you buy. (This inspection
should take about 2 hours.) In the DC metro area, Motorhead in VA does this
inspection very well.
Pay in the vicinity of 8-10 thousand dollars for said car, and enjoy.
