65 Valiant Daily Driver?

I kindof like the idea of the V6/ AX15-5speed combo

But if I was doing it, I think an aluminum headed, EFI,5.2Magnum/ A500/8.75/ ladder bars, and a custom leather interior.The tires would be big enough and stuck out far enough to make it look like a Dinky Toy.
Mine would be a wagon.
25mpgs is over-rated in anything but a DD,lol.
If you gotta have the mpgs; can I recommend to graft on a 2.4 Direct-injected, all aluminum, 2.4VVT, front wheel drive, from a Chevrolet Orlando. Mine occasionally gets 34mpgUS in a 3600Plus pound Tank. It comes with a 174hp@6700rpm/ 171 pdft@4900.
In the much lighter 1st gen, it will be a wicked combo.
Oh I almost forgot; it has a 6speed auto with very nice splits and amazing shift programming.
