I want to tweak the 350 rocket a little although she runs fine being strictly orig only 139000mi. Change the wheels but keep the rallyes . Debating on a new paint color. Interior is on the top of my list right now. Resto-mod is what I'm leaning toward .

Nice Car! Resto Mod? Why would you want to distort a beautiful original car like that may I ask? Some nice raised letter tires with a new paint job would be sweet! The interior covers can be bought relatively cheap and redye the plastic witha few spray bombs .. Wallllaaaaaaaa purrrrr fectoooo

Honestly is a beautiful car.... Hope you keep it on the original side... Nice to see another 73 saved, and that the most important thing! Good Luck and let me know how you make out!
