My picks as a car collector in order would be a Rebel Machine... 70 Donahue. But this may come as a surprise as a main pick... late 50s, early 60s Rambler wagons at the moment. Even the push button automatic 6. You can even do a GM LS1 transplant.

Wagons are hot right now. My favorite is the Chevelle wagon with the rare 396 factory 4 speed. This is if you are into long term investment. My opinion of course.

Note I left off AMX and even the unlikely Gremlin X 304 and SC 360 Hornet. The Machine is rare and may be worth sitting on. But you will be looking at probably a 30k car vs a 10k car like this review with a 6 in it. This may be a fun driver though, with a non matching numbers drivetrain.

True - not a powerhouse, but adequate, smooth, and reliable. Arguably the best domestic passenger car engine of that time frame.
