: I drove a 77 4dr Mav from upstate New York to Phoenix, AZ, fully loaded in 100+ degree temperatures. I drove it back to New York fully loaded the following July and then down to Georgia, on to the Southern tip of Florida and back to Georgia. It's still going. Get the Mav.
That's a good point. I drove mine to Denver and back (about 40 hrs.) PLUS abused it on some very rough dirt roads, all on the original engine with no rebuilds. (it was at about 80K at the time, I think) It gave me no problems. I paid $800 for mine. It was in good solid shape when I bought it, but by no means perfect.
