VW Beetle or Kombi or type 3 even. Air cooled 4cyl motor, great place to start, easy to fix, parts are easily available, its cheap, and with a few bux spent will go pretty well.
You can strip down and rebuild a beetle motor with 3 different size sockets I think it is. A few models handle pretty well too.

I'd say a mk2 escort sedan, but that's just my preference.
Cortinas are a bit too block-shaped for my liking. The earlier capris are aslo a good choice, too, but not quite in the same league as the esky's.

Stick with the escort van as you will have fun playing around with the stuff you can do with it and it will drive alot better than a cortina (sorry guys ) as they are a lite and easy to throw around .
That one for $250 don't sound too bad if there isn't too much rust in it ......good luck and post up some photos of it . |
