For sure. You want a skid pig that’s cheapish to buy and cheapish to buy parts for that’ll keep on going get a commodore or au falcon.
I bought a similar model Ford. Never been a Ford man, but my brother says "They're Aussie and cheap parts". Didn't tell me that I'd be buying parts every payday to keep the car on the road. Found On Rubbish Dump. The ford community were helpful with showing me how to fix shit, but WTF?

I’m telling you right now that au’s make the best paddock bashers. I’ve literally seen a 6 cylinder run around the paddock with no oil in the engine for a good 6 months. And when I mean no oil I mean no oil. Cunts won’t die.

Nah it's a 120 Y
Yeah, that has a 1200 motor. I assumed it's turbo'd.

Read a story in an Aus Turbo magazine years back, about a bloke with 4 passengers and a trailer full of motorbikes, driving a highly boosted Datto 1600 turbo. Sat at the lights near an XY GTHO revving his motor. Dragged that car off and left him gobsmacked.

Also might have been that the Ford motor needed revs to stop it cutting out, and the guy was just laughing at the Datsun driver, but still makes a good story.

my auto was losing a lot of tranny juice and that would stop a car. Then the electricals... don't start me .

Dude in the HO was probably sitting there in his $150,000 + car wondering why on earth someone would waste their time and money doing up a $150 Datsun
