I've got each of the cars discussed... I'd recommend the 124 first, the 85 second, an SD third, and last would be the 240... in 5 speed trim it's fine on the highway, but changing speeds has to be planned on a calender... the 4 speed 300 is great, but the 124 with a 602 is going to be easiest to aquire and handle fuel with.
