In reply to Apexcarver :

I didnt see this post earlier. I now vote RR, theres one with some interesting patina down the street from me. 

Old, domestic, RWD and big enough for a 454. I like the Tbird, but there is zero sell down potential.  

What about a second gen rx7. It's kind of like a fox body but not. ^that one was running a big block. Light weight RWD decent aerodynamics shells can be found fairly cheap. 

If it has to be old American and rwd then....78 Impala Aerocoupe, make it happen! 

Find one of them malaise era station wagons, strip it to the skin, add all the powers. Plus, you could toss a K bottle full of spray in the back.

I hate that I had a few when they were under $100 and now they're $$$.

Wagons yes.

Old American RWD wagon and still available cheap:

Remove "wagon" and 

crackpipe price but he may be willing to deal after sitting on it for 2 months at that price. Or call my buddy Jeff at the Corvair Ranch in Gettysburg

In reply to Mr_Asa :

The 68 Imp had me until the No Title reared its head.  The 56 is way attractive. Has me leaning towards the basket case 57 parts car I own. Makes the JHass 49er look like a shiney penny. 

But you said SMALL car. 

OK, you want American.

This is going to be rediculous, but I PROMISE IN THE BEST WAY.

and if you follow your pattern of caring more about drag than dynamic..

but personally, I think that particular car calls for pinks and pastels for a color scheme. The whole 50's poodle skirt vibe. 

I think Apex has won the thread...

Small was my pre-crash request. Need a bit more metal around me for another year. I'll  do small again next summer.

In reply to wheels777 :

That's fair, I forget if those are an 85 or 88 inch wheelbase, but I can only imagine the control challenges with BBC Nitrous power...

Might be worth sticking those bodies on the back 40 if you have the space.
