Not trying to be dismissive, but I believe you may be overthinking this. Grab a 78-79 WS6, put your favorite flavor of overdrive transmission in it, and enjoy.

This is for fun discussion. But it was something that came up recently.

I drive a 20 year old GMC with a 5.3 and 205k miles. My truck is getting to the point where things going wrong start to stack up. Wife and I were talking about cars, and I mentioned how I sometimes wouldn't mind a daily driver car. From 1999 to 2007, I drove my 73 Formula 400 for 63k+ miles - It was my road beast. Was thinking back to "what if...?"

Current plans with my 67 FB are to make it more cruiser friendly, and drive it much more.
