Thank you both. I am very happy with this find and with your advice and others have decided to do the following with her.
1. Lose the vinyl top, and do a two tone paint job. Although I may go one step farther and do a simulated vinyl top with a fabric paint that a painter buddy of mine told me about. If I do this, I will be putting all the original trim work around where the top would normally be.
2.Minor work to the motor and exhast. K&N filter in the stock air cleaner. Upgrade the ignition system, with plug wires, coil and maybe a new distrib. Probally an upgrade from the stock y pipe and signal tail pipe to a dual exhast with crossover and flowmaster mufflers. I looked already and the car only has one pipe, but the whole thing is factory notched for a dual system.
3. Rims. Not sure what yet....I have not seen any pics of a stock rim and cap yet, would like to do that, but may go with nice plain aluminum rim.
I got the keys made up for it, primed the motor and gave it a go. Wow... she fired on the first crank and purred like a kitten on 'roids..LOL. Not a knock, ting rattle nothing and the throtle responce was amazing. I was able to contane myself and not go for a ride, but am looking forward to it before I start the tear down for the media blaster.
