You guys were in danger of losing me but I'm back now (huge collective sigh of relief <G>).
These pictures were taken four months apart.
September 2010 (only the red hatchback remains today and it is my work car):

Issues? Duh! Actually, I think this will be the last car project I ever do (not counting the 1940 Ford that will be my inheritance one day - I'll pay someone to do that one though). I'm getting tired of bruised knuckles and an aching back.
Anyway, you are right. The middle one is a garage kept automatic. The others are definitely beat down southern cars.
The wider tires on the first car would indicate it holds the V8.
FWIW, this is my inheritance - the 2nd car my dad ever owned. It has been sitting in one garage or another since I was born in 1967:

Actually, I might want the old shell from the V8 car. Marty and I briefly talked about making it a Lemons car last night at the LCMC meeting.

Hmmm, Lemons car would be cool. My game plan at the present is to pull the 1.6L drivetrain out of my hardtop car and put it in the ugly car. I figure a running vehicle (no matter how damn ugly it is) is still worth 3 times more than just a drivetrain. It is all about recouping money for the project at this point. I'll keep you guys in mind though.
