Repaint it well in a flat black. Then Buy some weld racing rims to put on that. Finally drop a 383 in it with some gigle juice and back it up to a th350 and a ford 9inch rear end. Run the exhaust out right in front of the rear tires. Then you car will be the sweetest budget car ever!

That car is a great canvas for you to turn that car into one you will love, that will be uniquely yours.

Flip the tires so the whitewalls don't show. Rattle can everything that's red with black primer, then cruise till you can afford to do what 1992camarors suggested.
If you think the 383 and th350 will be too bad on gas, then choose something that gets a little more MPG.

Axle/Gears: posi, and posi w/discs :D.
well, it looks pretty well beat, but so what? its a great canvas. just repaint it ( i agree i like the flat black, and red pinstripes would look rad too IMO), get some new wheels and tires, lower it, and id say add some gfx from an 85-90 TA. youll have a pretty BA look down. then take that into the engine compartment.

Shes in great shape in the interior, everything works and believe it or not she only has 88k. It still needs alittle work here and there but i would like too restore it back to orginal condition with alittle more. I still need new tires, white walls must go, it has a new suspension all the way around, new exhaust headers back, new water pump, new brakes, new alt. probaly alot more but cant think of what else. The interior is spotless, amazingly when i bought it was in good shape.
