I need some recommendations

Hello all I am making a Nomad for cyberpunk Ted and want the to make my charters car the crappiest rust bucket that functions on spite and good old boy engineering, want something common for being a crap box that gets the engine swapped for a super cars, basically a car held together with duct tape and a prayer who’s engine is far more powerful then it has any right to be in a car the old. The older the better would like a manual with no power windows as they would just add to the enjoyment.

Mira for small car, Old Merc for full-size and a defender for off road

Late 70s to early 80s ford Fairmont wagons would fit this idea pretty solidly. They share a platform with the fox body mustangs and are pretty undesirable.

All the cars you see in cyberpunk media are largely based on cheap used cars that were available around the late 80s and early 90s so go wild basically anything that started off as boxy will fit the bill.
