318 budget build help?
What's your budget?
With a little homework and patience, you can pick up a fairly clean, not too rusty 318 or 225 A, B, or F body, that only needs minor repair to be very dependable.
My 318 Satellite gets almost 15 MPG in mixed driving, and after replacing a few normal wear items, I'd trust it to let my wife drive it to Atlanta.
An A or F body would get better MPG and with a 318 would have more power (mine's not bad) and a slant would get better mileage.
I've seen a couple really clean Volares and a few Dusters under $3500.
