Someone mentioned a little BUICK -- after I said it would be cool in Jason Rushforths Buick...
Here's a NASTY AZZ little buick - built right here in the good ol' Pacific NorthWET.... and it would make a nasty little track / Auto X car with some exotic underpinnings...
The other little car that would be "different" but still be attractive and desirable - albeit a bit less than a Nova -- would be a Falcon/Comet Calente

I already have a 62 Mercury Sprint Wagon in the works once we finish the Chassisworks Camaro.

I traded out 400 bucks for the most rust free wagon I have ever seen and the Total control front suspension will bolt right on with a few mods the push rod rear will go on. The I did some trade work for a duratech 4 cylinder with 5 speed. I have been told they will make 300 hp pretty easy.
Nothing fancy just a sweet crusier with some bitchin parts and a few left overs.
My thoughts on this transaxle are what ever it goes into has to be detailed to the max, light weight, and 500 hp. Plus a clean slate idea. I have been thinking about my 36 3 window for while now but what do you use for an engine. Procharged Ardun, chevy inline 6 cylinder like falconer, or a bitchin 4 cylinder? What ever it is it has to fit the theme. And then what do you use for suspension? Probably some thing completely custom.

Want to be different? How about an all out track 77-78 Chevette with a turbo 4-banger on E85? Or a Maverick ditto? That box looks long though...
Otherwise my choice would be a Pantera with V6 turbo power and lots of carbon parts. Make it handle like it looks!
