I am a 17 year old driver currently trying to find a good, reliable car. I'm interested in learning to work on a vehicle myself, therefore I've been looking into older cars without any over-complicated parts such as ECU's. I've been taking interest in older VW's lately, particularly the 1970's Beetle and Karmann Ghia's, due to the simpler air cooled engine (and also the stylish appearance 
). Price is not an issue, however I was wondering which would be more better/reliable?
I just want a vehicle that, over time I can actually make mine and not have to rely on mechanics and such to care for my vehicle.
Also, does the Karmann Ghia have an AC unit? I can't seem to find anything online about it. All I know is that the Beetles don't.
Answers would be very appreciated
