Eagle Summit Wagon. I drove them alot as a tech at a Jeep/Eagle dealer. I found them to be tossable and approaching fun with a 5-speed.

It doesn't take a lot. One really good time will do the job.

Oddballs that I like -
Mercury Zephyr Z7, the one with that weird extra thick B pillar and narrow C pillar. AMC Matador coupe. '60-'62 Plymouth Valiant "toads." Pintos.
Misplaced nostalgia: While the car that I sold that I missed the most is now my C4 Corvette, sometimes I wish I had another first generation Probe GT or a LeBaron Turbo. In better condition than the ones I sold, of course.

Leaving the wide open invitation for wise cracks, where is the Troll from? Scandanavia? German? Not British, LHD. Never heard of it.

I like the Mercury Capri for an oddball. The first generation was neat, but not quite as hot as say a Vega Cosworth. The second generation was basically a Mustang with all the same performance potential, but never really caught on. The third generation was actually faster than the original Miata 0-60, but we know how that comparison ended up.
And what's up with Lincoln/Mercury in general? They sold the Detomaso Pantera! The Cougar was never a horrible car (Muscle Car, Thunderbird offshoot, then compact coupe) but I guess wading through all the old people to buy one turned people off.
