My dad wonders why I have an old 1980 Plymouth that I want to get back into service asap. No GPS, no complex EFI system, speed control, etc. Just a 360, 4 barrel and a Torqueflite.

I keep that old 65 Willys Jeep and an old 77 Blazer that isn’t in service in storage.

I’d like to get a 67 or 68 Cougar like I used to have.

The tough part these days is finding carburetors and mechanical fuel pumps that will last with this ethanol-blended fuel. IIRC, there are carbs rated for the E85 blend, you can just re-jet them as needed. Mechanical pumps are the bigger problem, though electric pumps can be had that are more ethanol-friendly.
