That mini takes the cake!! But if you want to be different, don't go for a sports car like Corvette or 240z; cool yet obvious.
I suppose for financial and ease-of-find purposes, you'll have to go USA market ordinary cars.. surviving 60s being too classic and probably restored or expensive... so glorious 70s every-man cars like a Plymouth Volare wagon.. or, how about a hybrid coupe? My uncle had one of these, though I forget the name... Matador?
But seriously... I second the Corvette

Triumph TR6 or 7 if you can fit the engine under the bonnet. The 7 even has the flip-up headlights like the 944. Would be a wonderful sleeper as these cars were horribly underpowered...

Are there any pre 1975 cars where I would stick an over sized low rev 4 cyl engine with a low output?
No. This is literally the last engine anyone would want to stick in anything, except for a NA 924/944.
And please, prove me wrong. Go ahead and show me the 1% of 944 owners with a well prepared engine that have successfully raced it with over 350whp, I still wouldn't stick it in anything else but a 951.
That being said, I wouldn't want anything else in my 951.

I'm in the midst of swapping my race car's motor out. Tired of it blowing up.

A 240z is perfect balance and short my 72 240z is a hoot with 160hp and dual Weber’s can’t imagine how fast it would be with 250 Porsche ponies nice hope someone builds it
