Hmmmm.... Wow, that's a toughie! I always have at least a dozen or so projects swimming in my head. A few thoughts are:
Chevy Corvair; shorten the rear of the car a bit, make it front engined, maybe shorten the whole thing and make it a two-seater, Buick V-6 with a turbo.
Chevy Monza; The thing looks Ferrari-ish from the doors back, make the front look Ferrari-ish, Northstar, trick suspension, Ferrari-ish interior.
BMW 635; LS-X Power, upgrade the suspension and brakes.
Chevy Vega; Buick Turbo motor (stock), Upgrade the suspension and brakes, nice interior, would make a great daily-driver.
Fiat Spider; Maybe a Buick V-6 supercharged from an SSEi, or one of the "Shortstar" motors from an Aurora, or a Quad-4, cool country road cruiser.
79-80 Olds Cutlass; LS-X, 6-speed, suspension and brakes, would make a nice budget minded pro-tourer
Alfa GTV; Quad-4, 6-speed, upgrade the brakes. They just look cool.
70-76 Olds Custom Cruiser Wagon; Some sort of diesel, big brakes, GREAT tow vehicle.
Well, I'm sure there are at least a dozen more, but I think that should do it.
Shiny Side Up!
