They're no longer a Classic car once you change the drive train, they're just another RetroRod...

out of all those, the 240, easily. but I wouldn't change the drivetrain, I'd just restore it.

Not a big fan of older cars, though. I think most are fugly.

The idea is to have something I can actually enjoy driving at altitude. Most of these cars came with something on the order of 40-120hp, which frankly isn't even enough to drive on the highway around these parts.
