I still love 1970s Datsun body/interior design most of all. No Z-cars. The Sedans and Coupes. Something like the F10 coupe is quite aero and probably light weight, which you will want for a low power engine hauling four humans. You might get one dirt cheap. And if you have it in good body shape, tint the glass, and skirt the rear wheels you'll be cool and look cool (IMHO, but your results may vary). Good luck, hey.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
