Early?? mmm, how many KM would you expect out of one?

Go the low K from a disco.
Straight in and keep on driving.
For some reason I found the 3.9 to be more thirsty than the 3.5/4.0/4.6.

Older cars really don't need tons of money spend on them.
Keep them running till they die and get something with better or lower emissions etc if or when the budget allows.

i love the Classics etc, there just is a point where rebuild and fixes are just no longer viable.
Hope you know what I mean.

I had a light blue 82 Rangie 2 door.
Fantastic car bar the twin carbies playing up a bit and hard to get in and out of doors in tight spots but a car with heaps of character and great ride.

They are the ones that started the whole rangie craze of after all.
