I admit. Ever since I made this topic 3 years ago, the idea has been sitting in the back of my head (partially because I wasn't able to seal the deal with the guy who was selling it).
Let me explain: 1970s compact domestic automobiles are slow, poorly made and underpowered even for their time. However, they are light, they are very cheap, and they are almost all RWD. And I presume they are fairly reliable, Vega excepting. And while my intent wouldn't be the same as it would have been when I wanted that Mustang (where I wanted to buy it just to make fun of how bad it was), I have to imagine there is some legitimate fun to be had with them. Is that an incorrect assumption to make?
