Anyone ever turn an old Dart into an ultimate daily-driver?

I drove a 68 Barracuda fastback during the 90's everyday for like 7 years. It finally hit 500,000 miles and then needed some work again. Then rusted too much while sitting waiting for me to fix it and I had to strip it....

I had a home built 318 with a 4 bbl and it got 17.75 MPG highway at 80 mph. It can be done, but you have to know what you are doing and where to get parts to fix it when it breaks.

A couple of key items were a 4 bbl with electric choke and electronic ignition for reliability. I drove the car everyday in Detroit winters (sometimes below 0° F).
