What would you do?

If you have to ask, there's really only one good answer... modify it, but don't butcher anything.

I'd go "stock" with it, but update the brakes, suspension, wheels, and maybe add fuel injection, overdrive, and a 12-bolt with your choice of ratio. It's all stuff that's easy to reverse, and can be done in stages if budget is a factor.

I guess you guys are right. Its just a great easy starting point. I got the car for $6300 and Its well worth it with the body it has. The car was stripped to the bare metal then primed with epoxy without any body filler. Other than mini tubs, a cowl hood, and maybe a firewall smooth kit it would be a factory body. I plan to do a killer custom interior with a very high end audio system. These old cars with the high dash thats straight across the bottom is perfect for some HLCDs. LOL This is getting me excited.

PT it. I have had numbered cars and the money to get it CORRECT by judging standars will be very pricey also. Plus you loose big time if you put miles on them, unless its a Yenko or some other very rare car. Your car would not bring even close to your investment if you restored it stock and then sold it.

Think about it, we all want a great body to start with, you have that without putting new panels on etc. Mini tub it and use great parts, then drive it like you stole it, IMO.

Or you could sell it to me cheap...LOL.
