I was thinking pro-touring, but I need the money and already have too many projects. This
was my plan:
Body: All stock appearing, '65 front clip (I like '65s better) with Z-16 emblems.
Color: Danube blue (very dark blue, original '65 color)
Interior: Light blue '65 malibu SS interior with buckets. All stock appearing except gages.
Wheels: 17" ralleys painted black, with '65 dog-dish hub-caps, 275s & 345s
Engine: BB chevy, as big as I could afford, aluminum block & heads if I could fit it in the budget, painted orange. All stock appearing where possible. Twin-Turbos mounted under the back seat area, and the plumbing routed through a correct-appearing cowl-plenum air-cleaner.
Trans: T-56 of course!
For stealth-mode, go street-rod style, and mount the booster& master cyl under the floor, and mount a "dummy" correct '65 single reservoir master in the original location.
The fit of the cage makes it barely noticeable... if you tinted the back windows, you wouldn't even notice it.
