Easiest Car to work on?

[bigsplash]

If you had to buy a car and the only criteria was, that it had to be easy to work on, what would you get?

 

[cchase]

An older pickup truck.

 

[GMBoy]

My 78 Jeep CJ7 is simple so I'd just keep it.

 

[hstuehmeyer2000]

A V6 Mustang. It is 2WD RWD and has a V6 where a V8 would be. Lots of room to work.

 

[Big_Kat]

If parts we easier to get an Early Model A or T ford truck

 

[beast3300]

95 Civic 5 speed, no AC, no PS, no radio, no OBD2.

 

[84zmyfavorite]

96 thru 2001 Jeep Cherokees for a fuel injected vehicle, cause I know em. Most any pre smog pick-up(1974?-earlier) for carburated vehicle.

 

[mopar_monkey]

72 datsun 510

 

[spasm3]

55 chevy

My 96 mirage is pretty darn simple to work on.

 

[JHZR2]

My 81 240D but with an MT.

 

[bepperb]

Something made in high volumes, for parts and for internet knowledge-base.

 

[OVERKILL]

The panther cars with the 5.0L are insanely easy, but so was my '88 F-250. You could just stand in the engine bay to work on the I6.

 

[brandini]

A miata

 

[dparm]

Most Hondas. Everything is designed to come apart and go back together easily, no weird tools needed, and 95% of the bolts are M6.

 

[svhanc]

My 93 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L 4x4.
I could get under it for service without ramps or a lift and the inline 6 gave plenty of access around the engine compartment.
The driveline was pretty much bulletproof as well.

 

[austinlunsford]

something with a ford windsor small block in it

 

[Mr Nice]

My old 1990 LX 5.0 Mustang was heaven to work on.

Saturn s-series. R&D took long enough they let you get at most of the bolts. And the engine/transmission were made for that car so there were no funny adaptors to make things fit.

The removable door skins are pretty peachy for fixing window regulator or crash damage too.

The powertrain is light enough you can he-man the transmission around yourself (like for a clutch job) without any fancy jacks if it suits you.
