Just throwing around an idea. I can get an first generation Olds Aurora with a dead engine for cheap. Car has a drag co of 0.32 and the body looks like it would integrate further aero mods very well. A 3800 powertrain can be transplanted in place of the northstar v8 and big heavy 4t80e trans (the buick riviera was the same platform, with 3800 driveline)

My primary driving is highway, and long trips to get anywhere. I'm thinking both comfort and passanger carrying ability. Would like to go wild with aeromodding to stretch the mileage.

Thoughts?
