Torn on what to start for a project: originality and available suspension woes

[SeanH]

I have been searching and searching here and all over the net and haven't come to a good conclusion on what to build. My goals are to build a car that handles well that I can drive a lot. I am 6'7" otherwise I would be building a 1970 Mustang as I have always loved the Boss look. I need a backseat as at some point in the not so distant future I will have a child and don't want to be limited to not driving the car I build. Daily I drive a pickup, but would prefer to drive my pro touring machine whenever the weather allows.

After months of thinking about this, I am down to these body styles:
1968 Ford Galaxie XL
68-70 Dodge Charger
68-69 Ford Torino/Fairlane
1966 Pontiac Lemans

I have seen absolutely almost no aftermarket suspension love for either of the Fords. Being I drove a 68 XL for 15 years and 300k mi I am a bit emotionally attached to them, but am trying not to be. I find it strange that the Gal doesn't have more available considering the frames long running success in Nascar. I am seeing the same difficulty with the Charger as well, while the A-body seems to have plenty of available goodies.

I have no real suspension design know-how, so it needs to be a fairly straight forward swap. Mechanically it won't be a problem.

My question really is am I missing where I can find parts for either of the Fords or the Dodge? I would really like to have something a bit unique, but again my focus would be on the handling aspect of the car. One side note on the handling, my goal isn't to make a track car but one that I can drive regularly thinking along the lines of a German feeling ride in a car. Is this possible and does anyone have any ideas on what I should start looking for?

I really appreciate the help.
