He is the challenge:
I want to buy one car to last me until fossil fuel cars are no longer a thing.
I need a car that I can rebuild again and again till it has gone a million miles or more.
What are the best cars for this goal?

anything carbureted

Mini. You can buy literally every panel reproduction

1975 Chevy longbed

Some kind of Chevy truck or Panther Ford.

>Panther Ford
what is that

It's going to be a '65-'85 Chevy, Ford, or Dodge pickup. All of them are still plentiful, built like tanks, and have significant parts support even today.

Next would be a GM or Ford full size from '65-85 or so but they're thinner on the ground and parts support is nowhere near what the trucks have.

Mercedes-Benz W123 diesel. 240D if you can find one. 1983 and earlier.

Cheap plentiful parts, easy to work on, interior wears like iron, runs on nearly anything you put in the tank, no electronics, and is actually quite nice to drive.

Will go hundreds and hundreds of thousands of miles with basic maintenance and care.

Any F series with the 4.9 inline 6. Literally will go forever

A panther body Ford is the chassis the crown vic uses, and all its derivatives

...

Any car. Anything made in the last 20 years is infinitely rebuildable

ford f250. many have gone a million and more. one toyota did and toyota made big deal over it. ford just got on with the job...

Fc rx7 I guess since the rebuild kits are fairly cheap and ridiculously easy to do. Idk much about their body or interior, if it rusts or deteriorates at all. Gonna pay a lot in that fossil fuel tho.

>Mercedes-Benz

C3 corvettes are plentiful as fuck and you can practically rebuild an entire one from a catalogue

Just find a few extra frames and you can keep rebuilding it until they outlaw gasoline and fun

carbed
easier to maintain than a beetle
no electronics
manual
as spartan as a tiny suv can get so almost nothing can go wrong

Well thats cause the ferds had been rebuilt or gotten a new transmission or other big ticket work to it. The toyota was all stock minus wear parts.

Can confirm. I once rolled one end over end twice and the only thing that broke (it was a soft top) was the tail light when it rolled back into a tree.

VW Beetle

Check'd

Easy choice: go with a old aircooled VW like a Beetle, Type 2 bus, or Type 3.

I'd advise against the Type 3, personally.
They manage to be way noisier, and that pancake engine isn't as easy to maintain as the older Type 1 is.

>economy
haha
a new v6 accord gets better milage than a beetle

Thank god a 40 years older car gets worse mileage.

This is the only right answer

C3s are a bitch to work on with the crossfire bullshit they have

Call me when you manage to undo the whole car using a screwdriver and a socket set.

Any RWD V8 carb'd Chevy set up.

305 + TH 350 probably be best overall bang for buck.

name one driveable car that can be dismantled with a screwdriver and a screwdriver only

2cv

You forgot the socket set.

Give me a big enough hammer and I'll dismantle anything.

Mercedes w123 240D with a manual transmission

Ill dismantle yer mom with my benis

noble m600
will allways be fun
cheapish
very simple, turbos can be rebuilt

Drop a 350 into anything and go easy on it

Checked

This
Irv Gordon a best.

>noble m600
What the heck is that

>A boutique supercar with a Volvo SUV engine
>Plentiful enough parts to keep the car going until there is no more oil (which is an indeterminate amount of time from now)

XJ. Though you will need torx bits.

Something you can google. Fuck off.
