Maybe he should check the fuses.  Wayno

Go for the Cougar - a lot of upside potential, and cheap Mustang parts to keep it rolling. 

As to traveling the US in a real BMC Mini - it would certainly take the boredom out of I-80 - and turn it into a true adventure.

For cripes sakes, he's a newlywed.  He doesn't want to be lookig for a cougar now.

From Wikipedia:


Cougar is a slang term referring to a woman who dates younger men.

Typically, the term refers to women at least 35 years old who pursue men more than seven years younger.[1] The origin of the word is debated, but it is thought to have first appeared in print on the Canadian dating website Cougardate.com,[2] and has been used in TV series, advertising and film.

SSS, Doc is the newlywed, Graham hasn't tripped and fallen over the edge yet if my memory serves me.  He just has a long term lady friend...
Keep looking, maybe Furburger from Hod Rod will sell you the Raunchero...

Rhd convertible Packard! Would make an awesome unique rod or very nice as is

Dead sled you could sleep in this on the road and at the bend... Hard to bring into Australia being modified though.

But my favorite in this list is a ToroNado. I think they are awesome looking cars and with that front wheel drive V8 makes a lot of sense as a Landspeed car as the weight and drive are in the right place....

There's a Toronado-based (kinda) vehicle entered for SpeedWeek this year.  Think GMC motorhome.

How about a 455 boat tail Riv?

Complete with a Tarantino interior . . .

[Reverend Hedgash]

Nice boat tail, I particularly like the interior. For my liking though the back half looks like it was cut and shut onto the front half of another car by a different designer though... I'd have to do some customizing on the front to balance it up...

Today's pick from me:

Sure they are underpowered but some really strong design in the body with graceful pillar less window, etc.

I'd be interested in converting one of these as an electric project too, (in practice for my dream electric project of a Brazilian SP2).

Corvair........

[Reverend Hedgash]

Yeah a Corvair.

Ralph Nadar gave the series one a bad rap which was not quite justified but the series two had a far superior suspension system and drive ability. I think people remember the bad rap.

They are cheap and groovy, true not what I'd call a muscle car but it was never meant to be. It was to be a cheap sporty compact and I think it did that extremely well.

Two of them in the Father in law's collection...and a Cutlass....none of them have their original masts or mainsails though dunno why but every time I see them I expect Rodney Dangerfield to step out

"Hey, you scratched my anchor!"

We were heading off the lake in 2010 in Doug Robinsons pickup
No interior door trims or windo controls
As we were driving the seatbelt warning was going " bong bong bong bong bong"
Doug yells at the dash " shuddup Ralph"

I could go a Corvair, just not a swingaxle one
