I don't really have much brand preference. I like oddball cars.
Take a look at the '63 Biscayne wagon with either the 409-400 (365) or the 425 (385). The 425 horse can run D and the 400 goes E at virtually the same weight. One of those with a well done 3 spd. auto would be fun. Denny Ford runs a '62 409/409 sedan.

And 409 parts are more plentiful and a bunch cheaper than the Max Wedge or big Ford stuff.
