I daily a car from 1968. If youre mechanically inclined and very intimately knowledgeable about the specifics of the car it shouldn't be too big of a problem. Carry some basic tools, the jack for the car, and some spare belts, fuses, and other small maintenance items in the trunk and have a tow company number handy. Always factor in extra time before going anywhere incase of a problem (ie, always be early).
Once you work on the car enough you can get it to be decently reliable as long as you take care of the maintenance properly.
