What is the best cheap car for Hypermiling?

I would like to get into a Hypermiling project car. What is the best car to start with? I want to keep it cheap so a new hybrid will not work.

I know the most about neons because I race them and I have seen one on neons.org getting 53mpg but, from what I have read the 92-95 Civic VX or a Metro seem to be better choices?

I need a car that is cheap, with readily available parts from a salvage yard and has a reliable reputation. I have full mechanical skills so engine and trans swaps are not a problem. What vehicle? What engine? What trans?

Thanks,

Jeff
