What would you do?

The wife and I have been looking for an early Mustang to replace the 68 she had before the boys were born. It had to run and drive and be something we (I) can work on while keeping it on the road. We found a decent 66 coupe that fit the bill pretty good. It's a straight six, automatic car with a disc brake conversion already done on the front (5 lug) it also came with a 5 lug rear axle that needs to be installed, that's not the only thing it came with....

I now am the owner of a very clean, unmolested, low mileage...1978 Mustang II! The seller had bought it to pull the running gear out and put in the 66, sounds good, not a bad way to go. Originally I had thought that's what I would do as well, than I started thinking.

Now I'm torn between selling it for as much as I can and putting the money into her 66, ooooorr. Lowering it down, sway bars and getting some better tires than the GrandAm's that are on it. It just rolled over 80k miles and I've got nice heads and a 4bbl intake for it.

I've got no shame and would have no problem rolling into the next Auto-X in this thing. It's free as far as I'm concerned and would give me more seat time and get me involved again.

Have I totally lost it? Are late 70's cars the next craze?
What would you do?

Sell it to the one and only guy that comes to look at it.

Turn it upside down and stick a mast in it. If you're lucky it won't float.
