Default idea

my .02

leave the 69 alone.nice car...
this suggestion is if you can have fun without a 69 body.

if your wanting to beat on something and you will the more you do this autocrossing. the more youll wanna go faster.its like drag racing..any e.t. is never quick enough..i dont know your budget but what about this.

buy a clean second gen unrestored...just a 3-5 grand car ---mid 70s-81 on craigslist..dont go nuts at first. you can get a ton of bolt on handling parts and have fun .youll have to buy parts if you were doing the 69 any way.
tear into it as your budget allows ..i.e .subframe connectors.cage etc..change whatever and beat the living crap out of it...

..good luck
