I know most of the basic stuff and have read most of "the books" but what I don't know are the quality and drivabillity differnces.

I like the early cars bacause of the stationary passenger seat with dog bone and the early chrome bumpers. I like the later cars for the 'smoother' bumpers and few refinements. Which would make the better (street only) driver?

My desktop righ now is a dark green big bumper car with plaid seats and a woman putting the top in the trunk. I think I like that car.

What would you prefer to drive daily?

I prefer one with the least rust and the most options! Love the appearance and sport option on a 2.0L car. Early 73 2.0l "S" cars come to mind.
My 76 had the big bumpers which is great when its more of a daily driver as the stupid SUV drivers like to backup until they feel a thunk, great with the 5 mph bumpers. If you have the early chrome ones this can be expensive since the lady in the SUV just drove away as you came out of the store, now you have a big dent in you new chrome bumper from her bike hitch!
