the chassis has 130k on it, the 4AGE has 60k miles. it needs new shocks, seats, a tranny, and a ton of bodywork. but overall it runs like a champ (stong a/c too!)

Disaster (read errant SUV) notwithstanding, my DC4 will be a part of my fleet for quite a long, long, long, long, long time.
That said... I have a number of ideas bouncing around in my head, so it could be any one ( or more) of the following:
*FOUR-DOOR CANDIDATES:
1) An Small Block Chevy-converted Jaguar Sedan (LS or LT1, 6spd MT, ±3.73 rear end)
2) A similar early 80's vintage Jag with a RB25DET instead of the SBC.
3) A 560 SEL Mercedes- Benz sedan with some serious motor work done, most likely FI.
4) A Peugeot 505 STX, powered by a built 6G72 or a boosted H22.
•OTHER IDEAS:
5) A built GD8 WRX wagon...although I'd like to avoid smog where possible.
6) A 993 Porsche 911 C4 with a bit of chassis work.
7) There's also the possibility of a 97 NSX-T, although another two-seater would probably mean switching from a DC4 to a DB8.
8) Speaking of DBs.... one of my favorite British designs, the Aston Martin DB7 will have depreciated nicely by then, so the 993 could be usurped by it....
I could go on for quite a while ... there are the Caterham 7 Turbos, Westfield MegaBusas and such, but these eight are the most likely.
Any thoughts?

Back in the summer of 99, I caught a ride in a really well-kept silver Mk1 Supercharged MR2. To hear that little Roots blower wail its [bleep]ing lungs out along with the belch of the bypass valve between shifts was so entertaining... never mind the dynamics of an MR on Panoramic Hwy. Very fun.
So come to think of it... I'll add a retro import category to my list of candidates.
I'd love to experience that car's soundtrack again.
