60's mustangs are super easy, carb power, and body panels are EVERYWHERE. if you want something easy, and accessible, i'd go 64-68 mustang, especially for a ford guy. (personally I hate mustangs) VW's are particularly easy, but most people feel they are underpowered in stock form, and you have to do a lot of modding to add a LOT of power without breaking stuff. I happen to know old GTOs/GTO clones are pretty easy, too...
