Just remember parts availablity when looking at the 'non-mainstream' examples posted above

Fords/Chevs/Holdens are not so dramatic when it comes to replacing or repairing.

Howver, if I want another V8, I'll buy another Chrysler, probably a Valiant Regal 770 as it had the same MOPAR 360 small block as the Dodge Monaco I used to own in NZ. (Pic is from the US)
