    Hello all,

    I am in the search to keep a piece of american iron out of the junk yard. I'm asking for input and suggestions.
    I am interested in a medium or full size wagon. My needs out of the car:
    1: full frame? ( I want to be able to tow up to a 18' camper trailer)
    2: handling- can I make 'X' car into a semi-modern handling sporty car/possibly a road coarse/pro tour-ish?
    3:room for 4 adults/ 2adults and 2 large dogs and camping/luggage/roadtrip room
    4:daily driver- This will replace my 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T ( I am looking for as close to this vehicles characteristics as possible)

    with that said, I'm open to brands, makes. models etc.

    I would like to find something that has parts availability to keep it on the road (daily driver)

    I am looking at a 1966-68 ford country squire/sedan, Chevy II/Nova, Chevelle/Malibu, Impalla, and B body, C body Mopar(1968-73 fury etc.)

    I like the vertical headlights started with Pontiac Catalinas, the fords and the Sport furys and would like to stick with that style, but the 70's mopar slab fronts are mean lookimg....

    Basically I want a muscle car that can do it all.....

    Wes
