1987 camaro help

[BRIAN10197]

I posted this in a different section SORRY! It should really be here!

Well, My dad did a job for a friend and his friend couldnt pay him in cash so he gave him a 1987 Camaro V.6 2.8

And now he is giving it to me as my first car.
Its a stick shift but I plan on learning how to drive it this summer im going to be very dedicated towards it.

My big question is..

The car has 500,000 miles on it. It needs 4 new tires, New spark plug, New battery? ( Dont know if it needs a battery, We jump started it it turned on fine the engine started smoking mildly and the RPM WAS AT 7! We waited for it to go down but it wouldnt) Then we turned it off, And attempted to turn the car on without the jumpstart IT WOULDNT TURN ON so i think it needs a new battery. Its going to need a drain on the old gas the car has been sitting on his driveway for a VERY long time.

Their are MINOR scratches

POSITIVES
Old owner installed an AC system
Aswell as a sound system, Speakers in the front and back of the car aswell as in the trunk i found that pretty sexy! since the trunk window is BIG so you can see the speakers right in the middle its kool

New leather White and black seats, all i can say he payed about a good 800$ for that, Not to mention the A.c + Sound system


So im wondering.

Do you guys think i should keep the car and work on it? Or put a downpayment on a new car

The camaro is FULLY payed off, it just needs work.

Well, it's fits the criteria of a frist car. That said, most first cars aren't so pretty when their lives come to an end.

500,000 Miles? on a v6? wow.
