Ken, My choice would definitely be a 65 -72 Ford Bronco, the old square back with a 302 V-8. The only problem is that they're hard to find and when you do, the owner either won't sell or wants an arm and a leg for one. I've had my eye on a red and white one at a used car dealer down the road from me. He's been asking $8750 for two years. Last week he dropped it to $7950. Of course, it's worth every penny for it has been totally restored. If you can find one for around $4500 or less that is in decent shape, tht would be a steal.
