My opinion is this is the wrong choice, but, it is not my car,or my money. You bought the car, so do what you want to it, and we will all be watching the transformation from an original survivor to, what I'm sure will be, and awesome street machine.
good luck

Do the old sunrood like the 70s nova with the sliding vinyl top, that would be neat. Your mind was made up or you would have posted in the for sale section first. Neat car, would love to have had it.

nicely put! was going to add more of an opinion after I saw the ss nose intention, cause I would leave the cosmetics as nice as they are and do a bad *** twin turbo motor and suspension upgrades... but hell its his money, doesnt matter what he paid for it, if he has the money to do what he wants with it, go for it! doesnt matter if its this one or one in worse condition its all relative to the amount of money in your pocket right now!

Well after the piles of emails and ideas of some I have decided to build/ruin the car. I was sick with some of the PM's with if I could buy it this was my plan. I ordered a tremec 5 to help keep shifter in stock area(6 spd is way to far back) I am on the hunt for a LS3 pull out. Will post pics as soon as the bolts start flying!! Swap will be as clean as you can get and will look stock.
Please post the build - can't wait to see.....

Thanks I have found an LS7 in GM crate that looks to be the heart of the old girl. I still am getting emails daily to sell so...... I may try it one time for 7 days and see where it goes. I guess what am out 55 bucks?? Plans are first week in February to let the madness begin.

I think you made the right decision. Make it clean and factory looking and you will have a really nice car when you are done.
Have you thought about the suspension? are ATS/Speedtech Spindles an option?
