My first thought as well. In 1991, I bought a well-used '63 Beetle for $250, put about $300 in parts into it rebuilding the engine, got hit in a parking lot and got $900 from insurance and fixed it myself for $80, and proceeded to drive ith for ten years and over 100,000 miles without any issues. 30+ mpg, comfortable, reliable as a hammer. I just made sure to adjust the valves every oil change, a ten minute job. I sold it in 2001, and still have dreams where I'm driving that car. A tie or close second would be my '64 Galaxie or my '83 HiLux. (I still have the Hi Lux, going on 32 years now)
